I think finding property is pretty easy compared to managing.

Westchester, although one of the hottest markets, has a ton of upside with opportunities for both cash-flow and equity. 2-4 family properties in Westchester are the 2nd most affordable in the NYC Metropolitan area (next to Suffolk County) making it easier to find cashflow opportunities when compared to the boroughs and other suburbs like Nassau.A client of ours in Westchester recently purchased a < $800K 2-family with a detached 3-car garage which brings in additional rental income - from a local business owner with commercial vehicles.

Compare that to national competitors Vacasa or Evolve for example. 

You're very under leveraged compared to most investors trying to scale.

In my case, I went with a basic personal loan initially because it was more lenient with my lack of work history, even though the rates were slightly higher.Some resources, like Loansinfinland.fi, can be super useful for comparing loan options for unique situations like yours.

Double-check the ARV by comparing recent comps in the area to make sure the numbers add up.Run your numbers again with all costs (purchase, rehab, holding, and resale) to confirm the margins are solid.

Leverage magnifies return. 3) The effort involved in adding an ADU is comparable or larger than a rehab associated with a BRRRR.

That's it, but a) print out a page for each property you think is comparable, b) make the list of repairs long and inclusive of everything you've done. c) Put larger items first like kitchen remodel......and don't just say 'kitchen remodel', list things like 'custom backsplash tile/Bosch appliances/recessed can lighting/pot filler/etc. d) Cite the price/value of the work done, and don't be afraid to be generous.

We always make different exceptions for long term tenants due to what is considered normal wear and tear from a one year tenant compared to a 5 year, but cleaning isn't typically something we make exceptions for. 

No matter what you do I think you are going to have guests point out that something isn’t working which could lead to annoyance or requests for refunds or bad reviews.Plus, providing bottled water over the long term probably isn’t going to save you much money compared to paying a plumber to get the fridge connected.
