My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

The typical price point is 120-180k for a single family house.

Great question - 20% down is the typical down payment for investment properties, regardless if it's a single family, duplex, tri or quad.We have a 15% down option for the same type of loan.

I have one single family near a hospital and am in the market for my first multi family.  

Painting and flooring are super easy.

You can still find single-family homes in the $80k–$100k range and duplexes in the $130k–$150k range, even in C and C+ neighborhoods that are seeing steady improvements.

I see some larger single family homes in areas that appear to be zoned R2 that, at least from a physical perspective, seem like they could work for this.

Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Single Family Residence holding on to.

@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

But applicant 2 did not provide any single residential address in application saying he travels 85% of time.
