Questions about house-hacking in Rochester NY

[Beverly Anderson]

I was lost but I am.. a bit more found!

After some sound advice I have decided my best choice to start off is with house-hacking in Rochester!

 I'm having some difficulty finding a good duplex or multi-unit in a decent area within a reasonable price range. My current realtor was helping me locate a single family home so maybe that's one of the issues (any recommendations)? & I have been reading into real estate investing and a lot say one mistake is people choose to do it alone. Yet, I feel as though it would make no sense to link with an investor for something like this but maybe I'm wrong? Any feedback..
