(new apartment complexes). 

If it's a part-time investment hobby, then it might not make as much sense, financially at least.

I have an 6 unit apartment, co-own a brick and mortar and looking for my next thing.

A two-story, eight-unit apartment building with four units on each floor, each offering two bedrooms and one bath.

In NYC the demand is lower in the winter but the supply is also lower so apartments rent fairly quickly still (typically within a few weeks).

Hello @Kyle Souza, congrats on moving toward your first apartment acquisition!

Sometimes large employers will rent furnished apartments for their employees coming to town on a regular basis.Also, if you believe strongly in the appreciation of the house, how bad would the negative cash flow be if you did long term rental? 

Hi William, glad to have you as a part of this awesome community!

Start small, say apartments or condos.

I figured that would need to be a part of the closing to remove that deed of trust prior to new ownership.
