I’m also in the middle of my first fix and flip in Cleveland (remotely, I live in Rhode Island).  

I plan to use the $800K to buy mixed use retail/MF, or just MF property(ies) in Northern NJ/NYC 4 boroughs minus Staten Island. $800K would allow me to access $2.6M+ worth of RE. 2.

My name is Nick, I am 26 years old and live in Long Island.

Similar endeavors are underway in Rhode Island and Telluride, focusing on assisting first-time homebuyers and developing affordable rental properties.One significant strategy employed by these governments is the utilization of tax-exempt financing.

Realtor here from Rhode island!

However, I'm from Long Island, NY and cash-flowing deals are very hard to find.

Was actually denied for a commercial because it's stripped to the studs and deemed uninhabitable. 

I watching Jack Bosch talking about this strategy. In his land profits webinar. Trying to understand it. Thx for replies.

Hi - for Orlando, bedroom count is usually key, as this area serves multi-generational families in larger single family homes.Look for a good HOA resort zoned for short term rental (ie Windsor island, solara, reunion, encore, Storey lake, etc) and depending on the size of home, most will come with in ground spa/pools, with the exception for the majority of margaritaville units.We do manage some townhomes with a hot tub, and it does well ($75 per month to service a hot tub), but beware as an investor that guest nightly rates for townhouses and condos will be much lower than houses, as you are starting to compete with hotel chains when you start talking about 2 or 3 bedroom investments. 

I live on Long Island and are looking to get my feet wet this spring.
