You're attempting to self-manage, but you don't know the laws, you don't maintain market rents, you let the tenant walk all over you, and it's ruining your taste for real estate investing.

You could put your own squatters in the property and give them a taste of their own medicine, but that may not be legal and I can't advise you to do something illegal.

those uneducated LL like my father got there first real taste of government stupidity when they saw what it took to get non-paying tenants out of his home in NJ so he could support his own family. 

In the real world, outside of television flip shows where manufacturers are trying to upsell you on the cabinets and weekend real estate seminars where the people running them want to impress you with their taste, minor design choices such as the choice between MDF, and plywood for kitchen cabinets are way, WAY down the list of renovation priorities you should be focusing on at this point.But since you insist -- I like the plywood cabinet carcasses.

And stock is over valued even for their taste and is too volatile lately.

One option is starting off house hacking, as it can save you $$ on living expenses, but also teach you the ins & outs of landlording.A second option is to do a live-in flip and then house hack it THEN BRRRR so you get a taste of each.

And, after six months, the noise and dense surrounding can be a bit tiring especially if you live close to Washington St and the Path station.If you rent for some time, you get to experience everything and if you like the city, you can pinpoint what buildings and what streets you like more or those that suit your tastes.   

Don't want your first deal to leave a sour taste in your mouth because it's convenient to buy. 

Yes Thanksgiving dinner taste a little different when someone owes someone at the table money.
