Our portfolio is located on southside and 54% CHA.  

Nothing better than you're phone making the "cha-ching" sound on the first!

There is a solid community of very nice people of all walks of life who have relocated to CH - a lot live by the park / train (crescent / van sic)They do complain about the constraint noise.I live in Woodhaven further up and it's very underrated - further out but closer to rockaway and elmhirst via Woodhaven Bld.

I like to work backwards:[list]Connect and identify buyers first (wholesalers/flips, rehabbers, etc) Make a profile sheet on each investor (I have a great one email me for it)Have a solid option or aggrement with right to assign (got one each those too)Then seek, find and $$cha ching[/list:u]Hope that helps :wink: ....

Quote from @Caleb Cha: Hey @Healther Thuli I'm gearing up to get into real estate myself as an investor and looking to buy a duplex as my first ever property in the next few months, but decided to go into wholesaling since you can make money with pretty much very little to no cost upfront.

@Jay C. Ha

If the neighborhood is really desirable, you can probably still come within a couple hundred of what a similar unit with CHA rents for, make your rent money over the next year, then budget it into the mix. 

Cha-Ching for them with the origination fees.

I am exploring some options: 1) Buy outside CH a fixer upper and find for myself a rental in CH close to my son's school; 2) Ideally, try to find something I can add value to in CH where I can live in, and rent out/resell with ease. 3)  Househack a MFH 4) Other.

I took those to the CHA and a couple weeks later the inspection was scheduled.
