I'm currently targeting neighborhoods I'd like to live in, such as Charles Village, Station North and Pigtown. 

@Charles SmylerOnce you are licensed in New York you are required to renew your license every two years if you wish to work as a real estate agent. 

Thanks Charles,  I am looking for the strategy to unlock the door. 

I think the Charles Street Corridor north of the Harbor is a better bet.If you are looking to househack, however, Federal Hill might be perfect.

@Charles Maxwell Thank you very much. 

@Charles Kao - for the single family rental that we bought, it was somewhat straightforward as there was one single tenant and an associated rent rate.

Welcome to Biggerpockets @Jorgensen Charles.

Originally posted by @Charles Kao:Davon Lowery Hi Davon, This is going to be an ongoing struggle with contractors and I can tell you as a guy who used to install flooring in college is that your contractors that take a lower price are normally only willing to do so while they build their book of business but as they get better they only have two ways to make more money by charging people more or working more hours.

@Reginald Charles I see no problem with your strategy and lofty goals.  

Hey,Thanks Mr Charles I am looking to buy properties that can generate a 1% gross monthly rents from the purchase price.
