Hey @Spencer Cuello, so you will find most of us aren't fans of arbitrage.I see you listed NYC so you know that you can't do a STR in the city unless you live there.IE: You need to be onsite, living in the same unit you are going to rent.As per usual...

The alternative is to go with a single-family home, live in it for about 1.5 years, and then purchase another home while renting out the first one.

Split the $20 to buy yourself lunch and dinnerIf you are on the road, daily per-diem should cover a lot of your day to date living costs.If they send you on the road, you can potentially airbnb your house.Best of luck!

Anyone can live anywhere they want if they have the money, and sometimes houses are bought and then rented out without much background checking on the people moving in.

If that were the case, I would sell my house and live in a tent because it's less expensive. 

I live in Seaford, NY and have been searching for areas outside of LI to do my next deal.

I sold an apartment building and as I lived in the building was always there when my realtor showed it to prospective buyers.

I knew from the start that I was going to buy this propert...

This has been my experience and I live in an ultra-competitive market.

Hey @Jerry Nogueras - I was in your shoes too, born in NYC, and lived between there and Long Island.
