Currently I work in Manhattan (I drive to work).

Hey Kyle,I hear the same... there will be some people that will leave NYC from Manhattan to to NJ, Brooklyn etc... currently there is a lot of buyers and not much inventory so prices didn't move much. i do most of my deals in Brooklyn and the Bronx that is more residential.

My system can only return 500 listings max per search and I can see 500 rental listings in Brooklyn where the landlord is paying... same in Manhattan. 

Hi Doris - I am doing something similar with a coop apartment in Manhattan. 

I'm also looking at Central Florida for pure investment properties for STR.I currently live in NJ across the river from Manhattan which needless to say is a very expensive area which makes it more difficult to invest and have a decent ROI.

I lived in Manhattan during 9/11.

We also don't regret it for a minute - financially, it STILL made sense, and now we're sitting pretty, house hacking our freshly renovated 2-fam, 13 miles from Manhattan.  

Based on this I am thinking about starting the search for a 4 or 5 bedroom cabin this fall in PF.

@Stella Xu, I'm also in financial services (formerly) based in Manhattan, now based in my spare bedroom.
