Hey Sarah, if the seller has an agent, it’s best to go through them first since they’ll likely get involved anyway.For a property that’s been sitting on the market, approach with strategy.

You have to find your own way.  

Great way to build a business and a rolodex of listings/sellers.

the SBA can still work but the price point is likely going to pencil way under what seller financing would allow.

Phillip, its best that I show you. 

Is it best to have a bank account for each property or one account per LLC?

Substantial deposits (2- 3 months rent) and thorough vetting are the best ways to mitigate.  

Since you're new, start by narrowing down a strategy—house hacking is a great way to get started with low upfront costs.

You have to compare your expenses with each management style and find the option that works best for you.

All the best to you during your last semester.Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.Abel
