I recommend starting with the New York City Department of Finance: https://a836-acris.nyc.gov/DS/DocumentSearch/Index.Select the district you are interested in investing in, and then search for homeowners in that area.Best regards,Peter---

I own homes in Detroit I do not have bars on any doors or windows, I feel comfortable walking the street with my son if I wanted to.

There is also Pipeline Database that includes everything residential, with 4 or more units planned (not yet in DOB) and under construction (in DOB) in the five boroughs of New York City.https://nancypackesinc.com/nancy-packes-data-services/

I am not sure which market to look into as right now I am currently in new york and was told my best bet for cash flow would be to look oos for deals that I could use as a rental or house hack.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Notably, Fayetteville's growth surpasses that of major metropolitan areas like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.The city attracts a stream of migrants, particularly from larger urban centers, underscoring its allure.

If I build the same thing for multiple investors in downtown adjacent neighborhoods it helps spread the risk. not one person is local to my market doing this because we aren't a capital market. all are from high price point areas like New York, Texas, California, etc 

That is like including Miami in the Panhandle area or combining New York and Boston.

@Gary Kumar as you drive around this area, are there not shuttered/abandoned restaurants or bars? 

I think California and New York are the new Rust Belts although with our current Governor, Michigan could be forced into the same recession.
