I came here in early 2022 and bought my first duplex in Forest Park, IL and was able to effectively house hack.

IE - pet rent, parking fee, utility reimbursement fee, storage fees, etc.

But also, these tenants might inhibit your ability to push rents on the other units, since tenant junk on balconies, or broken down cars in parking lots, etc just paint a bad vibe for the whole property.If it is a "marginal" tenant, I would give them an aggressive increase.  

I pass by this house everyday and I know there was someone living there by the car parked outside.

Since it has the highest count of sold small multifamily properties, here are House Hacker's top 10 Queens neighborhoods:Jamaica: 102 dealsFlushing: 71 dealsGlendale: 41 dealsAstoria: 34 dealsEast Elmhurst: 32 dealsBayside: 29 dealsCollege Point & Corona: 27 deals, respectivelyWoodhaven: 25 dealsWoodside: 24 deals* Just missing the top 10: Far Rockaways: 23 deals - Maspeth, Ozone Park & Ridgewood: 22 deals, respectivelyHow optimistic are New York sellers?

However, the property in question is in a pretty good location: adjacent to a garden run by the city council, less than a block from a brand new park, and kiddie corner to a church/Catholic school.

I would look into Brooklyn, Parma Heights, Middleburg Heights, Fairview park, and South hills area.

However, having difficulty finding the price per sq ft of parking spaces.

I'm slowly gaining this back by only purchasing in the truly strong neighborhoods and even Metro Detroit (hazel park or bagley) 3. https://martelturnkey.com/ -- You'll pay a premium here, but you'll actually get a good property, strong tenant, and cash flow day 1.

There are plenty of inexpensive homes within a 20-30 minute drive of Hershey (Hershey Park, Chocolate World, Concerts) and Harrisburg (State Capital).
