2-4 family investment properties in Upper East Side. Live in one unit, rent the others. NYC's most accessible path to real estate income.
What makes multi family homes stand out in this market
Rental income from 1-3 units covers part or all of your carrying costs, making the purchase significantly more affordable.
Owner-occupied 2-4 family homes qualify for conventional financing (not commercial). Lower rates, smaller down payments.
You capture both rental income and long-term land/building appreciation: two return streams from one purchase.
Rental housing demand stays strong in downturns. NYC vacancy rates for 2-4 family buildings historically stay below 3%.
Existing tenants carry legal protections. Milton verifies rent stabilization status, existing leases, and any tenant disputes before offer.
The Certificate of Occupancy must match the actual number of rentable units. Illegal conversions create liability for buyers.
Milton runs a full cap rate and gross rent multiplier analysis on every multi-family offer to verify the investment case.

"I was trying to rent out my newly renovated condo in NYC's competitive rental market, and Milton Coste handled everything from start to finish. Milton knows the area inside out and was communicative, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise, he found a great tenant within just one week at a strong rental price. I highly recommend Milton to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and results-driven real estate broker."

Owner · Washington Heights
"Milton helped me purchase my first Manhattan condo, and I can't recommend him highly enough. What could have been a stressful process ended up feeling remarkably smooth. From the initial offer through closing, Milton was responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to answer questions and explain the details. I always felt informed and supported, but never pressured. If you're looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed, I would absolutely recommend Milton."

Cap rates for 2-4 family homes in Upper East Side typically range from 4-7% depending on location, condition, and rent roll. Milton provides a full income analysis before every offer, including current rents vs. market rents and expense estimates.
Owner-occupied 2-4 family homes qualify for conventional conforming loans (FHA allows 3.5% down on 2-4 family with owner occupancy). Investment (non-owner-occupied) 2-4 family typically requires 20-25% down. Milton coordinates with lenders experienced in NYC multi-family purchases.
Existing tenants must be disclosed. Milton reviews all leases, rent stabilization status, and any open HPD violations before offer. You take the building with existing tenants: eviction is tightly regulated in NYC and Milton ensures you understand your rights and obligations going in.
Cap rate analysis, rent roll review, and tenant rights guidance included. Free consultation.
