I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.

Hi Allen,your numbers look solid, but there are a few areas to refine.

Here are a few avenues folks often explore in times like this:You are already on this path - Owner Financing: It's great that the seller is willing to finance a portion of the deal.

Hi, does anyone recommend an investor friendly attorney in Central New York (Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Watertown)? 

I do agree that in certain areas you need to focus like you said.

I’d love to connect with others who are house hacking or rehabbing in the area and share experiences.

Or if the person is not in my area I am willing to compensate.

Has anyone used a general contractor in the west Michigan area that is willing to give a quote for price per sq ft or a range of price per sq ft for a full gut remodel?
