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.

Other than living at the work site what is your contribution to this transaction?

This is where the crowdfunding sites helped a lot fo those types scale.

I wish we would have started with that approach originally when we began our journey, but it's never too late to get started.

$6k tax.Ins,hoa, not to mention utilities . took out a HELOC off of our personal home ( res.worth $900k, and a 260sq ft studio, mtr. $1450 mo.) for$ 220,000 for the deposit.

We are considering investing in Houston as foreign investors (from Belgium), our goal is to find and start with a long-term rental single or multi family home. 

Our current plan is to purchase our first home and live in it for 2-4 years before moving to a new home and using this first property as a rental, so my fiance and I are currently in the market for a home that we could use as our residence during the offseason and then use as a short term rental or something like that while we are away for 6-7 months.

During that time we were able to save more money and our budget went up.

Honestly we wanted to rent out our other unit in our other duplex and we loved the area.

Would you be open to connecting sometime this week to see if we can create some synergy between our businesses?
