My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Let me guess your solution is SEO 😆 I’ve spent 20 years in sales/marketing and I have to say it’s never a single strategy We are also buying up expensive keywords on google I hear this constantly when I try to help peopleI do ONE single strategy because that ONE strategy is the one that actually works.Will you do 15 different strategies just because there is some unspoken rule that says "Don't do just one strategy?". 

DSCR or Fannie/Freddie loans can go up to 75% on single family homes, multi family homes (2-4 unit) max at 70% if you stick with Fannie/Freddie.Other things to consider would be:Paying points for a lower rate vs higher rate with no pointsIf going DSCR - Prepayment penalty term (0-5 years)The lower the loan size ($200-250k and lower), you should consider paying up to 2 points and doing a 5 year prepayment penalty if going DSCR.

It’s an attached HPR, basically a duplex that is zoned as two single family homes.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I know most lenders in the bizz will not make this mistake but with all these mom and pops jumping into lending I can see some of them not knowing and just record it only to get a nasty surprise when they go to sell..

So I bought a single family home for 315k that was considered inhabitable.

Using a single OTA has too much reliance on that OTA for my liking.
