Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Bulldozed the house and plan to build a new house on lot in the future Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Highly recommend.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I’d strongly recommend networking.

If you're open to looking at some resources here's what I would recommend you start with based on what you've said:1.

All the best to you during your last semester.Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.Abel

I highly recommend starting with a basic househack, easy barrier to entry and gives you a crash course in being a landlord who lives on site.

@Benjamin Larabee My accountant recommended I get a bookkeeper to organize my records as I am still building my portfolio.
