I'll echo what Stephen said, insurance makes things tricky as well as the high interest rates impacting the rest of the country, but if you get a good enough deal you can maybe make it work.

This will also depend on your capital.

It will increase the ARV which could mean more cash out in your pocket, or a better rate because a higher rate could decrease your LTV. 

When you get higher, you are essentially bidding down the interest rate that you receive.I am not a tax lien specialist and recommend reaching out to some of those who are very active on BiggerPockets like a Ned Carey

At today’s interest rates it’s very hard to cash flow, but the appreciation is pretty consistent. 

depending what type of auction but some deliver clear title . title research will have to be done before buying 

The "1% Rule" can be a great rule of thumb but it doesn't account for a massive elephant in the room: Expenses.What really matters is NOI (Net Operating Income), which is why we prefer cap rate. 

Hey David, I would say this largely depends on how many units you have, the age of the building, and the quality of the building/neighborhood. 

Depends on the quality of the repair and how well the tub is supported.

Hey @Carlos Martinez - I'm a broker & investor in NYC. 1 - Technically getting insurance is on you, BUT it doesn't mean the agent shouldn't be helping you by giving some recommendations lol... it's an odd thing to tell your client that it's not your job anymore. 2 - In terms of paying out of pocket the commission difference, it depends on what agreement you had with your agent.
