Investing in NYC where I'm located isn't feasible, but I am currently splitting my focus between the Jersey Shore summer rentals and Upstate NY student rentals.

With hospitality workers, Amazon warehouses, teachers, nurses, college students and many others desperately in need of affordable housing, the market itself is enormous.

I provided capital to the students to buy rentals or do fix and flips or if they had an IRA i provided non recourse lending for them.

Students always need housing and rent keeps appreciating. 

Buy something you can afford and rent out the other rooms to college students.

I ran across an experienced LOCAL investor that work with his students to go on appointments and help talk to the seller. 3. 

Anythings on the table for me, Air bnb, Buy n Hold, Small Multi, Student housing etc.

Seems like most people do student housing there. 

Attempting a DIY approach without being deeply entrenched in the profession is a challenging endeavor.
