If you have some capital, income, and decent credit, buy a 4-5 bedroom house and rent bedrooms. 

You can enter the wall from the bedroom behind.

If you're interested in that and open to a little creativity and work.

I'm relocating to the Upper East Side this June for a three-year period and am considering purchasing a 1-2 bedroom apartment with a budget of $1-2M.

Ideally, I would’ve bought closer to Huntsville or Madison, but the rent-to-price ratios just didn’t work for cash flow in those areas.This property is a 2,100-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 2-bath new build in a really good school district, which is what sold me on it.

I doesn't sound like you have a lot of experience doing creative finance deals, and your overblowing numbers crazily.2.

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $20,000 In 2013, I put my knowledge into action by purchasing a two-bedroom home for $8,000 as a home for my mother, though she wasn’t thrilled about it.

rent out all the bedrooms to your friends. 

The design requirements are as follow:1. 6 bedroom (maximum allowed by the septic requirement based on lot size)2. 5 bathroom (Almost each bedroom has a ensuite bathroom) 3.

Vet potential partners carefully and aim for relationships that can grow with your portfolio.In this higher interest rate environment, focus on cash flow and creative financing options like the HomeStyle rehab loan or seller financing.
