3) Partner up with a realtor who will have your best interests at heart and can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, lenders, and PMs.

I agree with Rene about insurance seeming a bit low -- but you can easily get a quote from a broker and verify that.

(At least easily) with any taxes outstanding.

I am planning to buy a house in Bronx, close to the city, I found a single family house 1 and 1/2 bathroom, 3 bedroom, finished basement, garage, and yard,The house looks in really good condition, I already made an offer for 570.000, in melrose Bronx, I know this is not a safe neighborhood, but I do believe the house will appreciate and also I think I could easily rent it since it’s close to the subway,What do you guys think, will a house in melrose Bronx will appreciate it, taking into account it is close to projects and it’s in melrose? 

I can easily cover 20/25% down with cash on hand. 

My best advice is to work with someone who can easily plug you in with their network of PMs, GCs, and lenders and can guide you in making strong offers.
