I was actually considering NJ and CT as an alternative to NY. 

@Jonathan GreeneI agree - I like to offer an alternative option which can be negative and I get plenty of private messages of me being mean, out for people etc.As an example, I am Sorry, but my opinion is if you get 100% financing I think it is ultra high risk especially for someone new to real estate.

If yes, what are alternative methods to tap into its real estate equity after signing a multi-year lease with an operator? 

Unfortunately, we have found there are many people out there in alternative assets shooting by the hip and practicing unethical business. 

If you’re unhappy with your employer look for alternatives so that you can still get funding for investments.

Too many variables between now and then but that's a safer time period to look at this differently. 

.- **Alternative Strategies**: Continuing with delayed lending (refinancing after repairs and tenant placement) has its merits, allowing you to build equity and stabilize cash flow property by property.Please feel free to DM me.

Alternatively, look into renovation-specific loans like the Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation or FHA 203K loans as standalone products for rehab costs.FHA 203K LoanPros:Low Down Payment & Bundled Costs: This loan simplifies the process by combining the purchase and rehab costs into one mortgage.Cons:Interest Rate & Refinance Requirement: Higher interest rates and the need for refinancing could reduce your overall return on investment.Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation LoanPros:Bundled Costs: Like the FHA 203K, this loan combines purchase and renovation costs, simplifying the process.Cons:Interest Rate & Refinance Requirement: Similar to the FHA 203K loan, the need for refinancing to extract equity and convert to an investment property might add to your costs.I am a loan officer so I have some expertise in this area.

We've noticed a very strong increase in out of state investor interest in Oregon motivated by Oregon 1031X Exchange transactions and wanted to share some insight into alternative income producing asset classes that are common, attainable and available in Oregon. 

Exploring alternative revenue streams, such as short-term rentals or mixed-use developments, can increase cash flow and diversify income sources.
