Notably, by the year 2022, I further expanded my real estate portfolio with the acquisition of another condominium, which I presently employ as a house hacking investment strategy.

Find areas that aren't over saturated with rentals, and an area that could easily pivot between short-term / mid-term / long-term rentals as the market fluctuates.

Or expand to offset low cash flow?

You said it isn't obvious that it's coming from the roof, but if rainwater is coming in from one damaged area it can easily be pooling and then traveling to that area of the house.

Source custom-cut 1.5" minimum diameter rods that are continuous length (not the expandable ones as there is usually a gap in the metal that fabric can get caught on).

You can link it to your external accounts if you have them, open new accounts quickly and easily through Baselane's partner bank Thread.

I look forward to connecting and learning more about your vision for expanding your portfolio. 

My opinion for those that live in a high cost of living market is to continue living / renting in that market and invest in a different market that is affordable and provides both cash-flow and appreciation potential.The reason to stay in the HCOL market is because you will be paid(hopefully) a nice large salary.You can take this salary to then 'easily' invest in other markets.NYC is tenant friendly which can be a con for investors.Furthermore, NYC has appreciated historically.
