Quote from @Brooklyn McCarty: This makes my brain hurt. 

Hello everyone,I am a fairly new investor and recently I bought a duplex in Cleveland (44111) and Brooklyn (44144).

I do own one unit in Brooklyn that I bought long ago.  

I'm currently looking at buying a legal 2-unit property in Brooklyn, NY.

I’m in Brooklyn and I focus on CRE MF investing as well.

Will be house hacking a two family in Brooklyn and making some renovations before moving in to one of the units.

The appraiser never checked if that particular kitchen had running water, not that it would probably matter.I then took the $350k out as an Equity Loan and gut renovated the building.Not a bad return for 2 months listed on the MLS by a prominent Brokerage firm.DOM is a consideration, but is one of slew of different variables that you should be researching and analyzing, especially in our market.BTW, I don't flip in Brooklyn either.

I grew up in Long Island and live in Brooklyn now and the one thing I'll say is it would be very tough to make $30-40k go long enough to find you a decent place and make the numbers work.

Hey everyone,First post newbie post I'm so excitedI currently live in Brooklyn New York and I've been trying to absorb as much about REI as i can.

@Jag C.I have a duplex in Brooklyn Center, not quite the same area, but I can at least give my experience.
