You and me both that NYC has become a no investor zone unless you have $500k to play with.If you have your team ready and that amount of capital on stand by, NYC neighbors NJ has many properties to start with.I just purchase a property in Newark for under $40k 2 family distress condition.

Feels like a no brainer to me...

I think if finding a no money down deal is your starting objective its going to be a very difficult proposition. 

It's a no brainer, your best option would be to leverage the equity in the home and force it to earns it's keep.

When you live in a high income tax state like Hawaii, New York, California or Oregon and invest in a no income state it is actually more of a disadvantage. 

This deal looks like either a no cash flow deal or possibly a negative (because I don't think you will get 4% loan on an investment property).  

Meaning that a landlord who may have a no-pet policy cannot deny someone with an emotional support dog tenancy as the ESA is not considered a 'pet'. 

If you are a registered voter in independence or know someone who is who would sign this petition, the person collecting signatures is Fred McGary - not sure if I can post his email address here, might be a no no- but you can PM me and I can put you in touch.There is also a new group formed regarding this issue on Meetup - its called Missouri Landlords, to stay informed, please visit this group so we don't have to go to 10 different places to post information.

Anyone can serve a No trespass Notice to any individual that is not a registered tenant.
