I do understand that I screwed up and am taking it as a learning experience.

When do you look at a property?

Most do survive the cuts and make it to the sale.  

Let the lowered rates do their thing and maybe ask again in 6-9 months.

@Bob P.Well 2022 real estate was booming and everyone was told how easy it was to do.

retiring on cash flow is a pretty tough thing to do for most folks full stop.to me to do that its highly dependent on your location and price points.And how much capital you have to start with and or your day job to allow you to scale.

It is just out of price range.So, what can I do?!

Do not invest in NY2.

You'd need to really understand the specific neighborhoods and property types to make a good investment.If you do go the out-of-state route, a good property manager will be crucial.

They’ll still do an inspection and they can still say fix thsi or I’m not buying.
