My plan was to keep the condo as my residence, but after a year, refinance to fund a down payment on a multi-family property, either out of state or in the surrounding NY area.

If that market fits what you are looking for and it's closer then I would invest there, but if it doesn't fit what your looking for from a metric standpoint I wouldn't just invest there because a buddy does. 3.Being able to get a direct flight helps, but I wouldn't make a decision on a market based on that4.

there's a tremendous demand for inventory - both primary residences and rentals - and so buyers are willing to accept lower yield than a lot of us think makes sense. 

My idea is to put 20% down on a $1 million property, with the remaining $800,000 paid off over 8–10 years, depending on how much yearly income the seller would want.I’ve seen a lot of discussions about using seller financing for investment properties, but not much when it comes to primary residences.
