House Hack (2-3 units)

[Demiss G. Shippley]

Hey everyone, I am a newbie here. I currently live in Brooklyn, NY but I am considering  to move to Albany, NY with my wife and my daughter maybe within 8-12 months. What caught my attention about Albany is that Houses there seem to be on my price range and and I am interested in investing in a multifamily for house hack  and start my journey in real estate investing. It's something I've been wanting to do. I don't know anyone or anything about the area but we are willing to pull the trigger. I am honestly clueless about how to start or make the move. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone! ^_^
