Great neighborhood, that’s where I live but not ideal for REI..Most apts are Coops the majority of boards won’t allow you to rent and if they do there will be restrictions..SFHs, Multis or Condos prices are very high, it will be difficult for positive cash flow every month..

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

Ideally what you need to do is study and research on your own to determine exactly what you feel is the best fit for yourself.

I’ll remember that.

you lucked out. receiving a vacant unit is an ideal scenario, as you can now screen and place a tenant to your standards. you should tell the seller you want to receive unit vacant

Ideally, we’d like to go in on properties with other investors that are willing to do the research.

Remember to factor in the TSP loan payment in your calculations.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

you need mad sales skills to really make any money wholesaling.. wholesaling is about as tough as it gets and remember you have all this competition from folks who can just wake up one day and say I want to be a wholesaler.

My wife and I have a goal to purchase our first house by the end of this year, ideally a multi family home that we can house hack.
