Working in NYC, looking to house hack a place within 1hr commute

[Jack Callinan]

Hi everyone,

Currently living in queens, work in Manhattan.

We (girlfriend & I) want to buy something outside the city but within approx. 1hr commute to Manhattan.

We want to house hack but also hoping the property will appreciate nicely over the coming years.

Looking for best type of property to go for & in what location?

Looking for something under $500k if that helps

I’ve helped clients do this plenty of times. Very easy commute requirement. If its a single family, you're looking at East New York, Cypress Hills, East Queens, South Brooklyn, or Bronx (with as little as 3.5% down). If its a coop/condo and you have atleast 10%, your location can get better, but the house hackability is more restricted.

DM me if you want to get into specifics.
