All the best to you during your last semester.Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.Abel

Cleveland and Akron have some good opportunities. 

It's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis - the key is creating a strategy that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.Then, you can start defining what an ideal investment property looks like in terms of returns and property types, allowing you to evaluate opportunities that fit.Good luck!
