NYC laws around rentals—especially short- to mid-term—can be tricky, so you’ll want to avoid any compliance headaches.The biggest challenge with this plan is finding a rent-stabilized apartment that makes financial sense and actually gives you breathing room.

Tenants must be 55+ so assumed that tenants wouldn't be problematic.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

There are thousands of websites out there that are disguised as helping the public find the best of the best but at the end of the day its simply taking your info and selling it to a 3rd party as a lead.If you are trying to buy a home or an investment property and you have good to excellent credit you should always use an FDIC Bank or Credit Union.

I hope to find a single-family home with at least 4 bedrooms, use the BRRR method to turn it into a short-term rental property.

Even calling Airbnb or VRBO CS and telling them that you just looked for your listing and could not find it, will boost your algorithm ranking somehow. 

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Same to me on Zillow, I think it’s because Zillow makes money providing or finding loans.

Finding reliable contractors for out-of-state investments can indeed be challenging.

And if this is illegal in some states...what exactly is illegal about finding interested investors and matching them up with a funding source?
