Seems like the only neighborhoods where FHA is even a possibility is cypress hills / east New York or east Flatbush, among other further out areas I don't really want to live in.

However you can likely make significantly more cash flow (not sure about appreciation) in markets outside of new york. 

Welcome Malcolm, I'm excited to see your journey unfold.. what's your gut feeling about the New York market these days?

I also have a 12bar espresso machine available as well.We provide plenty of coffee pods in the kitchen and the master bedroom coffee bar.

Quote from @Luis Herna: Let say I am a licensed real estate agent in oklahoma and there is one buyer in new York wanting to buy a property in Texas.

I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.

Quote from @Rory Darcy: Hi guys my name is rory, pretty new to this im an out of state investor residing in new york, looking to invest in wisconsin and illinois, currently looking to build my portfolio around multi family duplexes or single family residencies, would be great to connect with like minded investors or agents who can lend a hand.Rookie investors should not invest out of state.

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that.
