Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.

My two cents: get a job and HUSTLE right out of school and create some income and save up some capital.

One thing to consider is whether a two-family twproperty might provide better cash flow than a condo, especially with NYC’s high costs.

What I mean by this here are two very different situations:1.

Also note that my company will possibly either cover closing costs if we sell or provide property management for two years if we rent.

As a company, the first two years when making a profit the company tax is 15% and from the third year onwards this becomes 25%. 

Your taxes are none of the ex wife's business and this would seem to address your concerns.I would also put her on notice that future requests for financial discovery will be two-way and if a discrepancy is seen in the other direction you will seek support from her.

There’s two components of household:1) the “who”2) the “how”“Who” is living together is easy: that’s the tenants.

You have to separate the two.

Two best options are house hack or sell and acquire a 1031 property.
