Cap rates remain attractive in many of the outer boroughs while rates (temporarily) remain low - so there has really never been a better time "spread" wise.If you are looking for yield in the short run, NYC may not be for you.

@Chrissy Severance, if you want to continue and grow in investment real estate, I’d recommend you pursue the CCIM designation.

Newer investors are attracted to the cashflow, but they can come with their own set of challenges.  

I'm now trying to stay focused buying rentals as this is what attracted me to real estate investing in the first place.

@Ben HaackeTownhome is more attractive to renters than apartment style, but you also have a bigger roof and basement to manage.

Depends on your situation which would work out best.On the selling side, again you have two main options, list for $1M with a listing commission % (of whatever you choose) and still offer selling agent commission as standard for your area, or option 2, list with no list commission and lower your price by the commission amount it would have been to attract more buyers at a "lower list price".I have done both and it was all situation dependent.

Non-QM - The loans are designed for investors.

Google "Landscape Designers" and call these until you get someone willing to answer your question.  

As I grow in the real estate space on the side (looking to get my first multi-family soon), Brandon and David's advice to "find your unfair advantage"  has resonated with me and I believe growing in the real estate accounting/tax space is mine, especially since I have the CPA designation that tends to allow for greater credibility.
