Hello -I live in Long Island, New York.I am exploring STR investments perhaps in markets near New York.Just having a very hard time starting off. Not sure where to begin looking besides Zillow.Any suggestions/advice/w...

I now live back in New York so I'm using a property manager to handle the rental.

Hello members, I am a first time investor recently moved back to Michigan, my focus was primary residents and after moving back, I had to rent my previous house out in New York which is producing some good income.

Although most states have adopted model disclosure regulations promoted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, no state or federal agency requires them to mention such basics as investment-­management fees, rate of return, and (with the exception of New York) sales commissions.Insurers also don’t disclose what part of the annual premium goes to pay the life insurance vs. savings components of the policy.

My question is can she qualify for a first time home buyer in Upsate New York? 

Some hot areas are Jersey City, Newark, North Bergen, Guttenberg, West New York.

Since you're in NY & a 1st time home buyer, check out New York State's First Time Homebuyer Programs at https://hcr.ny.gov/sonymaThere are several programs, different criteria, if you need any recommendations for mortgage professionals feel free to message me
