You could look at Newburgh, but I'm still not convinced of the long term viability of that city (where I was born and raised).I'm starting to consider outside of the state given the decline in population and terribly high taxes.

I’m terrible at paperwork but it looks good so far.  

But what you have right now is this irrational desire to BRRRR and those that are attracted to it tend to be newer investors with limited capital and want to get started and scale fast so they want to use their cash replenish and repeat.. this opens up huge opportunities for those folks who understand the mind set to step into that niche and some of them are just not good actors .. its pretty much daily you see a post now.. about don't work with this guy don't work with that guy.. and the one thing that ties them together is generally out of area investors trying to do 50k rehabs for 20k because the wholesaler told them that's what it would cost.. and come to find out its does not work.. and or the contractors are terrible and or flat out steal the money.  

Plus, usually, they can choose not to be terrible people, they just don't want to choose.

The house isn't in terrible shape, but I will need some plumbing, HVAC (gas furnace) electrical, sheetrock finishing, granite/counters, possibly tile & painting (if I decide to not do it myself).

I’m terrible at accounting and I wrk best with no partners But I’ve contemplated it....That 8.25 is a sweet deal.....but it’s only available to certain NYC employees.

We have had a terribly cold winter, very high utility bills.Good Luck.

I don't mean to Generalize, but there is a big difference when you can accept Prospective Tenants who have 800 FICO Scores, $100k's in the Bank than someone who generally has a terrible Credit Score and no money.

The property has no heat (think they'll resign when the lease is up), which is terrible and now you need to worry that all your pipes are going to start freezing/bursting and flooding your newly renovated property.

(This terrible snowstorm definitely isn't doing me any favors either)I'm posting on almost all major channels (Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Craigslist, Hot Pads, etc.) through Zillow, Craigslist, and Rentredi.It's a large unit in a good school district so most applicants have been a little older and it's a matter of they have missed payments, high credit utilization, etc.If I'm still having trouble getting this unit rented by the end of this month do you think it would be better to lower the rental price by $100 or lower the qualifying standards of the credit score from 650 to 600?
