I’m going to be starting as a first year in IB in NYC and was curious about the time commitment/feasibility of buying a rental property while being an analyst. I have student loans I need to pay down first so this wouldn’t be for probably at least a year, but is owning and maintaining a rental property manageable for someone with a job this time consuming? Wouldn’t be buying in NYC though probably in the North Jersey area.

Some simple breakdown. Once again average estimates for rent and stuff, some of my analysts friends pay $2k others pay $1.5k whatever works for you. Below in monthly basis and $85k salary.
Take home: ~$4.5k (max out 401k company match/health insurance) Rent: $1750 Utilities: $100 Lunch: $250 (M-F around $12 a meal) Drinks/weekend hangout: $400 (this will highly very, could easily be more once again) Roth IRA: $500 (good practice to max out) Subway: $80 (includes weekend trip / take company car home)

Once again people who go out a lot/splurge could easily spend more. A lot of friends go to a gym/coffee thats easily another $100 a month.
