Also, not all condos in NY will allow a down payment of less than 10%.Full disclosure: I am not sure how all of this will play out in NJ when it comes to looking for condos.That being said, I think it takes sense to explore multifamily options in NY or NJ when taking  your dream/goal into consideration. 

If you are thinking of multifamily, as in 5+ units, it is a smaller playing field, and you don't want to burn bridges with realtors by wasting their time because you didn't know something.

I don't see how it's the tenants business as long as they're all dead.

Also, play around with the BiggerPockets calculator if you haven't already.

That being said the numbers you provided don't play out as a cash-flow rental if that's the strategy.

She said that she was going to wait a little bit 'pop the breaker' and try again, later she informed me that it still was not working and was presumed to be dead.
