Multi-family showdown: Yonkers vs. Stamford - Need some advice

[Mike A.]

Hey all, so I sold one of my buildings and I am looking to buy another one either in Stamford, CT or Yonkers, NY.  The thing is I'd like to keep one of the units for myself, but I do not know much about Yonkers, and it's hard to find a multi-family in Stamford where the numbers actually work with a mortgage.  Could someone please provide some advice here on how to proceed? Normally, I buy in the more urban parts, but since I want an apt. for myself, I'd want it to be in a better area.  Am I delusional to see if I can make the numbers work?
