What’s exciting about your journey is that NYC has so many unique opportunities—you’re not just buying a place; you’re investing in a lifestyle.

I have found enough business and made enough money not to need to expand outside of this market.Section 8 is a whole different ball game but I find the program is unique in that it's a 3-party relationship adding the variable of a government agency.

I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

Look for CPAs who stay abreast of evolving tax codes related to real estate and possess a comprehensive understanding of deductions, credits, and depreciation strategies unique to the industry. 

Smaller markets like Ocala, Spring Hill, and Palmetto can be great for affordable buy-and-hold strategies, while Gainesville offers unique student rental potential.

Even though your market might prove expensive, I would exhaust all options before ruling it out.Truth is, you have a unique competitive advantage in your market.
