(Ideally you want at least six months of inventory to balance between sellers and buyers.)

What type of lawyer might be ideal to connect with?

I have plenty of savings to invest and great credit but ideally would like to stick with residential loans since the rate is better... commercial loans are definitely an option though.

Ideally purchase a 2 unit property and rent out the second unit to cover some or all of your PITI.

Ideally I would like something that does both my books and property management in one.

Agree with Floyd, I think even up to 46th may not be ideal.

So, in your case, the assessed value would be estimated at $720,000 rather than $900,000, and the tax bill would be estimated at $18,000 rather than $22,500.A good tip that this same mentor told me is to have closing be as early in the year as possible (ideally January 2nd). 

Would be ideal to find locations where there's ground level residential units already and start re-zoning process from there.

I live in New York and ideally my first home should be here so I can manage it myself BUT properties in NY have gone up.
