Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

With no credit score the interest rate would be based on the lowest credit bucket.

It also depends on how you hold your properties; LLC, S Corp etc... as to what the agent will recommend.

I am absolutely focused on networking at this stage as I devour books, and glad I found bigger pockets. 

My goal on this platform is to expand my network and develop relationships with brokers, owners/operators, investors, and others who are looking to learn more about multifamily real estate!

They would prefer a lump sum and move on.

Foreclosures aren't a super big source of leads though and most end up on the MLS anyways so they many people will see them.

Depending on your current rate or if the current loan is short term or long term.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

Should I do my research and still aim for 10k on the deal?
