Hi there!

I've finally determined that house hacking/FHA 203k in NYC is the best way to get my first deal. I'm looking for a real estate agent from the community that can help me find the right multi-family property in NYC. I just got pre-approved from a few banks for 500k (including repairs). Now I have about 3-4 months to find and purchase a property. (Creative financing ideas welcome as well!)

I want to work with someone who is link minded, owns property, and willing to do a bit of hand holding for a newbie like me throughout the process. I'm also looking for someone experienced in the Bronx (primary) and Brooklyn, Queens markets. I am primarily focused in the Bronx because my area is finally turning which means there is some good home appreciation coming in the new few years.

I love this community which is why I've come here to find the people I want to work with!

Best,
Steven
