Purchasing "out of state" to invest is not where the favorable loan options are; that is where I get confused.

(originally this was bought as a cost saving measure as rent near the university I wanted to go to is pricey)Do any of you have a favorite post, book, or real life experience that could help me as I set this plan into motion?

Is it a worthwhile endeavor to call in a favor on a task like this? 

Had a family with small kids decline in favor of a place on a culdesac. 

@Kaitlyn Bjerk I usually have words of encouragement, but I am not doing you any favors by sugarcoating this!

The lesson was don't hire based on wanting to be nice or doing someone a favor, whether with contractors or tenants, reality will always kick your *** to the curb despite your "intentions". 

Most investors are using Buildup (which many PM companies use) but the pricing is more favorable for anything under 50 properties.  

I’m aware that each area has it’s positives and negatives and if the numbers work in your favor then it’s a good deal.

If we do have the required amount for an house-hack I can see how running the numbers and making sure the property would be a good investment would be a problem, I’ve also heard that NYC tenant laws do not favor the land lord, what is your take on these issues?

This is my first time doing the calculator so I’m just going through the motions and learning as I go.
