I've had a couple of bad actors, but all in all I've had good experiences and continue to provide this type of housing.   

Should I re evaluate what strategy I should use and maybe look further out in places such as Rochester and BRRR properties out thereHey @Jared Leggett, I know I'm jumping in here late in the game, and I have to admit that I haven't read all the many comments you've gotten, but I wanted to provide what I imagine and glean is a contrary view.It is easy to dunk on NYC for young investors starting out, but if you are a first time homebuyer you can buy a $1M property with $35k down (+ closing costs which can be avoided with seller's concessions).

Are there any insurance policies or providers you recommend for this unique use case?

They provide strong asset protection, separating your personal finances from your business.

Therefore, it would be ideal that the system be simply in design and infrastructure, allowing local IT specialists in Togo to provide their support.Fourth Point:It is preferred to start with a physical "in-office" network through a server before transitioning to cloud-based or "out-of-office" solutionsThanks,Alexandre Boustany

I provided a link to the bill HB 2297.

The majority of Buyers search 3rd party listing services which also provide listing agent contact info.

Given the estimated value of $1M and your plans for repairs, there are lenders who might be interested in providing a cash-out mortgage for $500K to help you pay off the owner financing.

Another strategy would be to partner with another investor who could provide more liquid capital and how obtain a DSCR loan on this property. 

The cash that would flow in a 30 yr loan underwriting scenario is sent back to the bank so that builds equity faster.Forced appreciation, while excellent overall, I am not sure it helps in this situation to avoid income from cash flow as that will probably both provide equity, but also increase cash flow right away.
