I am an architect and home owner in NYC. I recently bought our 2 family house and renovated it. We have a tenant living in the downstairs unit. So this is my foray into the world of real estate investment. I am considering buying a property, renovating it, and either selling it, or renting it out. I feel that since I am an architect, and have a very good understanding of the renovation process, I am ready to take the next step into investment properties. Or am I just naive?
