And all the deals I do the exit on a fully rehabbed home that I fund and pay for the rehab etc for my clients. is basically 250 and under .. there is not an issue with affordability in much of the US the issue is buyers preferences.

Westchester, although one of the hottest markets, has a ton of upside with opportunities for both cash-flow and equity. 2-4 family properties in Westchester are the 2nd most affordable in the NYC Metropolitan area (next to Suffolk County) making it easier to find cashflow opportunities when compared to the boroughs and other suburbs like Nassau.A client of ours in Westchester recently purchased a < $800K 2-family with a detached 3-car garage which brings in additional rental income - from a local business owner with commercial vehicles.

We have about 10 clients in your situation.

While my local marketplace is the Greater Hartford region, I serve clients all over CT. 

I was the HML who put the CA clients into title for 1k per house.. then countrywide or wells would refi them in about 90 to 120 days generally they could cover their lending costs and be positive cash flow 50 to 150 a month..

Charming, smaller coastal towns with a slower pace of life, natural amenities, seclusion and semi-self sustainability are high on the wish list of many high level clients and investors. 

Agents just need to make sure their clients are serious and are going to be able to get funds when making offers on deals.

Brokers look out for their clients, insurance agents look out for their job.

I once made the mistake of chasing multiple listings at once, which turned into a disaster.When I shifted my focus to serving one client at a time with honesty, integrity, and accountability, referrals started coming in without any marketing.

Focus on long-term guests, like corporate clients staying 30+ days, because it’s easier and brings steady income.
