@Phylicia Stephenson - Welcome to the vibrant BP community and as a New Yorker sharing adjoining counties.I see that you are interested in duplex acquisition for house hacking and flips, so, I added two blogs for your review.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/07/19/how-to-buy-a-duplex/http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/07/flipping-houses/On the other hand, I share your pain with regard to the high price of properties and taxes that you encounter in Nassau county.Yes, you will probably have to step out of your comfort zone in Nassau county and look upstate as mentioned.
