Off-Market Deals In NYC?

Question For The NYC BP Fam:

I have solid direct marketing skills. 

I've written sales letters and emails that have directly generated millions of dollars in sales...

I don't mentioned any of this to brag...but rather to ask YOU:


Can I use these skills to find off-market deals in NYC?

I just moved here (Manhattan), so logically, I'd like to use my skills to find off-market deals...

And if I were in almost any other market...I'd go after single family houses (wholesale, wholetail, take-over sub2, seller finance, etc  -- I used to go on appointments with a "We Buy Houses" Franchisee back in the day)... 

But in NYC... I honestly have no idea what I'm looking at.  

Like... WTF is a co-op? 

Should I be looking into smaller multifamily units? 

Condos?

It seems the NYC real estate landscape is heavily regulated so flipping and assigning contracts (especially in such a competitive and well-priced market) would be an uphill battle...(although I honestly have no clue)...

...but maybe...just maybe... there are off-market deals to be had...and I just need a little more direction and clarity on what I'm looking for...

Your thoughts?
