Hi and welcome to BP. You can use your experience with property management to understand what multi-family investors can buy and successfully manage for a profit.

This maybe considered by others as odd advice but, I worked with a property management company for a long period of time. Before or while you go to court and file for the judgement ( which you absolutely need to do). Remember your goal is to collect as much money as you can from the tenant to cover your costs of doing business regardless if ultimately the tenant/landlord relationship goes bad and they are evicted. Continue to contact the tenant on a regular bases and draw them into dialogue about why they are not paying and how if in any way you can be of help or service to them.  Appeal to them as a single parent. That's what property management companies do, they constantly try to recover whatever money they can by being humble, persistent, and appealing to tenant.

Yes, I would. Everyone has to live somewhere.  I would never personally want to live in a rental-zone but, for some people this is totally acceptable and maybe even preferred.  As long as the property is in a "safe-enough" area for you to complete renovations, go for it.

Welcome, what type of inventory are you looking for and what area specifically?  

Hello and welcome, you'll find that real estate is super low in price compared to Long Island.  There are plenty of property management companies to manage your properties if your goal is five years out.  Let me know if I can help you.
