Live where you want and invest where the numbers make the most sense.The benefit of living in NYC is that you hopefully make a nice salary compared to others in the country.This gives you a competitive advantage when you want to buy properties in other parts of the country.If you are investing in NYC, you are not investing for the cash-flow but the potential appreciation.I used to live in NYC(now I am a digital nomad) and I decided to invest in Florida.

I am arriving at this conclusion because the appraisals relied upon for the BRRRR method in these lower tier neighborhoods rarely equate to actual results in an arms length transaction. 

However, it does demand solid digital marketing expertise to see positive results.

My most recent condo carries a rate of 7.99 fixed with about  90k equity the other carries a rate of 4.75 ARM with 80k equity The 3-plex has a rate of 3.45 fixed, over 250k in equity. 1.

I've been active in the Tulsa market since 2021, when I lived there for a year and a half as a digital nomad under the Tulsa Remote program.What's been your biggest obstacle to getting started?

One thing you might want to consider is partnering with microsoft and adding a third party app to their office 365 suite of products as they have an accounting arm and many other applications already in play that you could add on just for property management and it would work on their system to integrate everything.

Appraisals have to be done at an "arms length" from the bank, meaning the bank can't influence the value.

And you would "rent" your investment property to her (arms length transaction defensible because she is a related party).

I also have a digital agency business and am acquiring a new SMB in-home service. 

This exact reasoning is what's drawn me to digital marketing and copywriting as the best way to attract motivated leads.
