I am in Manhattan and looking at selling the luxury unit for 1.8-2 million.  

Completely different feel from Manhattan.

I am currently located in Queens, NY and work in Manhattan.

, I read on HUD's website that it must be your primary residence for a minimum of 90 days, yes I do plan on making one of the units my primary residence while renting the other, I do also plan on getting the 203k loan to have at the very least the kitchens renovated, I will not be able to afford a fancy home by no means, I want to buy withing my price range. there is an up and coming neighborhood in Queens NY with LOTS of development happening, also has one of the main transit HUBS connecting millions of New Yorker's and tourist to Midtown Manhattan.

Just curious, what's wrong with Manhattan?

Hello, can anyone recommend an investor friendly title company who does simultaneous closings in New York City (Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx)?

Any thing close to Manhattan would be ideal since I work there. 

I'm a real estate agent in Manhattan Ks my office is currently working with a number of investors that have properties they have expressed interest in selling but are not yet ready to list.
