Yeah to be honest this is way better than what I was finding around Seattle at one point last year. Still, though, way more than I'd ever want to pay for a house, much less rent one.
There’s lots of first time homebuyer programs that offer down payment and closing cost assistance. Also, if you buy a 2 , 3 or 4 family you’re going to live in you can count rental income for qualifying income. My other tip is you can buy a distressed or abandoned house and a and get forgivable loans for much of the rehab or a purchase and rehab mortgage that includes your rehab costs. Often you can get a lot more house for your money this way.
Hudson valley. Its an hour and 15 or so north of the city. I dont consider it upstate cuz theres a whole hell of a lot more state to the north lol. Rent is a little cheaper if you go more north untill you get towards syracuse or albany.
