I was interested in this topic as well, hopefully we can gain some insight to this.I'm wondering if you're able to achieve anything that would cash-flow as oppose to an appreciation/break even cottage play considering the short length of the rental season. 

The unit is in good shape I’ll just make sure after they leave.

I would like to add that in many cases in NYC, "no fee" means the unit is listed directly by the owner on Streeteasy etc., as opposed to the landlord hiring an agent and paying their fee. 

It would likely take $2,000,000 in resources in today's markets to achieve your bigger goal.  

Also, have visualized in achieving financial freedom through real estate is possible.

Hello all,I'm seeking advice on achieving a higher ROI in real estate investments beyond the 1% rule and maintaining around 35% of monthly operational expenses (including Cap-ex, maintenance, property tax, and vacancy).To the best of my knowledge and abilities, the 1% rule with 35% operational expenses seems to be the best I can achieve today.

Are they really able to achieve the projections or will they likely fall short?

The experience reinforced the value of thorough market analysis and strategic decision-making in achieving successful outcomes.

Well, okay a bit of an exaggeration, but they are distinctly different skill sets.The problem is you believe you've already achieved and I'm not sure you could tolerate someone else being the brain of the operation.

The unit is ±1,300 SF of retail space.
