Also seems like a lot of MF sells occupied with tenants in place so you just have to comfortable with that and contracting up from and seeing inside after contracting.    1st step is to find a great lender and get pre-approved for a loan so you know what your budget is.

You don't have to fit into a traditional "avatar" box to bring valuable insight, so don't sell yourself short. :)This is especially true if you rely on furnishedfinder.com as your primary lead source (which you shouldn't, but that's another post) as when you make that connection with a prospective resident, you are selling yourself as a landlord as much as you are the property as a place to live.

I currently own 3 houses (2 rentals) (1 primary).  

It is a very long term investment but would sell for insane profits C.

I was able to get a private loan which I used to purchase the house then I used my own money to rehab the house.

Nice situation where talking to a neighbor resulted in the purchase of a house! 

The plan is indeed to house-hack.

Honestly, why would anyone do that when the median house price of NYC is almost 1 million.
