(to be honest, much as I appreciate the good folks at Northland, who are really quite cool to talk with, there's a certain utility in talking shop with people from my own state -- surprised me at first how much that dotted line on the map means to a lot of people)

As the weather warms and tourism increases we're anticipating a robust shopping season with competitive demand for prime properties.How is your market holding up?  

I'm wondering—is that sufficient for a standard one-year lease, or would it be better (or safer) to just make an account with the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors (PAR) and use their most updated lease?

Which of those areas mentioned would you think would be a safer bet for this approach?

But if most comps have the primary on the main level, that might be safer for resale.I’d take a close look at recently sold homes nearby—see how 4-bed vs. 5-bed properties perform and where their primary suites are located.

I can't speak for Long Island, but in Westchester, multi-families in safer neighborhoods generally go for $850k+.  

It's a much safer bet.

A lot of question marks moving forward with CMHA at the moment, sticking to finding market rent comps is the safer bet.

Quote from @Kate Purse: I have been shopping around, but it’s been challenging.  

While it’s more expensive, it might offer more immediate rental potential and a safer bet for appreciation if you're planning to relocate soon.Blossom Rocks, Apache JunctionThis feels more speculative.
