@Nathaniel Kamp This sounds like an opportunity worth exploring, but time is not on your side here!

I eventually want to buy a house but I think as a novice this will give me some experience and the opportunity to learn the challenges that I will need to overcome once I do buy my property. 

I’d just recommend reviewing the renovation requirements for the historic district since they can add time and cost, but the right team can help streamline the process.Good luck with the deal—sounds like a solid opportunity!

The current market definitely has some great opportunities for strong ROI and equity growth.

Opportunity Zones 2.0?

I just recently got hired for DSNY (New York city department of sanitation) my base pay is 43,000 with alot of overtime opportunities so I do not see myself making any less than 60,000 for my first year.

There is opportunity there also.  

I'm seeking an opportunity for a summer home in the area, and would like to rent it in the winter when I'm not there. 

I flip and BRRRR so I’m looking for value add opportunities. 

Then when you're skilled up and confident you can take your remaining non-emergency, non-reserves cash and scale more aggressively.
