But first please let me provide a little specific background and why I am crunched for time to figure this out.

I really like crunching money figures and finding creative ways to save/make money for others and myself.

That being said I’ve been been trying to find duplexes and practicing crunching number.

I constantly crunch the numbers almost monthly to see how much money I am making when including the amazing increase in the property's value each time I raise the rent and I do my math over and over so that I am excited and I can do the math in my head.So, when the tenant spit in my face my mathematical mind went into overdrive and this irate tenants idiotic move that resulted in an eviction just earned me a big fat paycheck.

I crunched the numbers again and it seems like a good deal for rehab and rental ONLY if someone remove the tank and clean up the contamination.   

Right now, Manhattan is having a severe problem as the High Rise buildings are preventing showings, which then cascades to Owners keeping their properties off the market.Until Sales begin to increase in Manhattan, I'll know if there is a migration from Manhattan to outer Boroughs like Brooklyn.However, there was at least one sale that I found in Ditmas Park on 4/15 for $1.9 Million: https://streeteasy.com/sale/1442190Not much data to crunch, but it's still surprising that this sale occurred.I'll have to wait for more data but that probably won't happen for a few more months or even next year as we have to wait for the sales in Manhattan to close first.

(Such as what to expect per-door in small multi-family properties of 8-16 units; or how to find the Section 8 rates for different sized homes in my area; or how to identify areas in the path of gentrification; and really focusing on my underwriting/number crunching)So, as I said...I’m determining my goals tonight.

I do want handholding, I do want to understand how it's going to work, what the most efficient way is to get this done, how the numbers are crunched, and why should I pick a certain state or area over another?

While I did crunch the numbers and did some due diligence, it's been a good learning experience for me thus far on what i could have/should have done better.
