My plan is to rent them for the next 5-10 years and then sell them and run as far and as fast away from New York State as possible. 

Thank Hey Eric,DSCR is a tool like any other loan product and as others have said, it will help you to scale, but you can't live in/house hack the property.Full disclosure; my company does DSCR and hard money for fix and flip exclusively and I'll tell you the same thing I tell all of our clients-exhaust the opportunity to use conventional financing BEFORE you dip your toe in the DSCR world. 

Real estate as an agent or investor is hard work, and a lot of him is a mental battle more than anything.

Or go the route of buying a single family, doing some upgrades, live in it for at least 12 months and a day and then pull out some equity to go buy another and rent that one out.

It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of money but overtime is very forgiving!

It's free to create an accountAttom Property Data is something my old office used and paid for and was pretty great resource for foreclosures and lispendences.Usually county courthouses will display property data on their websites or you can see it posted there in person ( Free)Property Shark is paid but pretty useful up here in NYC as well.Free is always nice and as someone who's been privileged enough to used the paid services I would add that if you can afford it, pay for a service for a month or so.

For that purpose I would like to share some attractive ares that are not as high ticket, and a way to avoid the rent control.

Quote from @Jonathan Garcia: Well technically what I use is irrelevant considering I'm switching.I have 174 doors 63 of which are self managed.I don't have growth plans as I'm in the stage of just natural progression due to years of investing.As far as the software I want to collect rent, Fees, Maintenance request, Reports, and a system that can handle as many doors as possible with no restrictions.
