Hi there ,
I don’t own any real estate yet , but I want to get my first property this year as I have a nice amount for down payment . My initial goal was to buy a 2 family home in LOng island and house hack but the down payment is so much and taxes are too high in my opinion we would basically pay the same in the city and it’s just adding no commute for me which is not ideal.
My goal I daily write is to own 100 apartments units .
I decided to focus only on Multifamily units and scale up hoping for first purchase of 8-10 units find something with add on raise rents cash out refinance and then perhaps go to 20-25 units .
I live in New York City .
I have a few things I need help with .
1. Area to focus on Multifamily 8-10 units only for finding deals not too far from NYC up to 2-3 hours drive in the 1-2 million dollar range and down payment up to 300k ?
2. What website I can best look for multifamily deals,?
3. Any advise you can have for me as a first time investor going to multifamily? Do you think jumping in to 8-10 units on first deal is too much ?
any advise would be welcome.
