One of my goals is to develop a solid buy box to streamline our underwriting process and make it more systematic.

I tried to look up properties that I could buy using my $6,000 bonus as a down payment but I was living in Los Angeles and couldn’t even buy a shack.

I’m currently house hacking and planning to buy my next property in about 6 months.

If I am wrong, then please clarify what is and what is not allowed in response to someone stating that they need a CPA.If I am correct, then let me tell you that these rules are enforced very inconsistently, and there're a few people who have been committing these violations repeatedly for months, seemingly without any repercussions for this behavior.

I am looking to buy a 2 or 3-unit home in NYC.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Once you have done it in your own backyard and know the demand of owning RE, you will be much more ready to buy out of state.

You can offer to buy the upstairs residents an area rug, but I wouldn't force it on them.

@Christopher HeidrichRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
