The price per square foot in Suffolk went up 15% among 2-4 family properties.

Are you talking about house hacking yourself, and using it as a co-living property?

Because the property tax as a non-owner occupied property is about 3-4 times the amount of a owner occupied property.  

There will be fluctuations on rents and much of it is property and timing dependent and not necessarily market dependent.

No.I provide cable channels (I'm not cheap and have nice properties) and have smart TV's where they can log into any of their streaming services.
