The grandparents are in Manhattan and Hudson so we are considering Westchester or Putnam counties to move into and invest.

Some properties I purposefully sell off market because I know I can get someone to overpay for it with the illusion pf exclusivity from being off market.

I’m trying to buy my first rental property now, and I would love to house hack, but I have to move to Manhattan for my job, which makes this trickier.

@tylermutch I'm in the north jersey area so pretty close to Manhattan, New York so there's a lot of potential for some serious cash flow with buy and hold.

If you're in Manhattan it'd be great to meet at Starbuck's.

My name's Kirk Olson, I'm currently stationed at Fort Riley, KS and living in Manhattan, KS, originally from Iowa.

i.e. manhattan, downtown Chicago, etc.You could realistically do a fantastic remodel on a unit for less than $4k, bring in a high quality renter @ $1200+.

I'm based in Manhattan, but have some connections in Long Island too.

I worked on the sale of the flagship EY office on 42nd and 7th in Manhattan years ago.

I feel like I'm throwing away money when I could be putting it towards a solid purchase.As I consider what I can buy, it seems like I'm limited to "rough" parts of Newark and Jersey City, as they still provide a reasonable commute to Manhattan (where I work) and seem like my best shot at something affordable.My question is, would this be a prudent investment?
