In my professional opinion- supply currently exceeds demand throughout most of the city.

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

In NYC the demand is lower in the winter but the supply is also lower so apartments rent fairly quickly still (typically within a few weeks).

Are you going to supply the down payment and how much equity are you willing to give them?

We would handle the guest communication, coordinating cleaning, minor repairs, stocking supplies, calendar management, etc.

I have a pro account so I can buy materials at places like Home Depot at the same cost, but not at electrical supply and lumber yards.

If the new administration focuses on boosting housing supply or implementing tax incentives for real estate, we might see positive opportunities.

@Jeremy HartwigYou are missing a lot of important data, such as median income of the area, rent comps in the area, what current values are.You are buying on actuals, but in many markets that have low supply and have a lot of demand, it makes it difficult buy based on actuals.

The other options you are playing with fire as using a HELOC that is paying interest is essentially buying with 100% financing.Having no skin in the game has always been a high risk strategy and people were able to get away with it the past few years due to the money supply and inflation but I would not use that as the measuring stick.
