Keep your eyes open.  

Bigger Pockets has been the best tool for me to open my eyes to the world of Real Estate.

Straight out of high school I've been in the "work field" but I've always had a sweet tooth for Real Estate, being my own boss is what I'm about.I have a real passion for Real Estate I think about it everyday I open my eyes.

If you are looking for an on-market, SFR or duplex close to the universities, there are better options (1, 2, 3) ... there are a couple I've been eyeing which have been on the market for a while and, pending upon answers I received to questions posed to City planning we may make an offer.  

My parents dont approve of me learning real estates,in fact in their eyes i have to be a doctor or they'll kick me out.but i want to learn so much regarding wholesaling I've watch videos and read books on it and i would greatly appreciate it for any tips with wholesaling in nyc.

I am also currently renting my residence while keeping one eye open to eventually buy, and I have to ask - do investors run into problems on getting a personal home loan if they have outstanding debt on investment properties?

Just look with a critical eye, but don't expect perfection.

In their eyes it worked.  

However, the reason house-hacking a MFH has so much appeal is that as your first investment being in the building allows for you to keep an eye on it.

I am also keeping an eye on a new startup cozy.co; I may give them a try next time just to compare services.
