Recently got rejected for a job at Lyft after final round but the hiring manager just emailed me out of the blue to say I should apply for a different job. Is this common? What does it mean?

Very common in tech. When I was interviewing at google, I was referred to two different groups for a Product management role by the original hiring manager that rejected me, and ended up getting an offer with one of them.

They liked you but they liked someone better for the first role. They’re hoping to still get you for a different role.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
