Consider property management services and tools like AirDNA to understand local demand and occupancy projections.Good luck!

I tried to search on the IRS website but can't find anything.

I would recommend a mix of both that aligns with your plan, the money you are giving up earlier could be a tool or vice versa. 

I'd simultaneously search for duplexes especially those with value-add potential.Regarding volume, the Suffolk towns with the most listed 2-4 family properties since '23 have been Lindenhurst (46), Huntington (22), Patchogue (21), West Babylon (16), and Bay Shore (15).Riverhead has had 10 listed small multifamily properties in this timeframe so it isn't too far behind. 

Quote from @Tiffany McKinney: HelloI am in search of a real estate attorney in Houston, TX.

Here are key factors to consider when searching for a reliable broker.A good private money broker plays a pivotal role in facilitating real estate investments, serving as a bridge between investors seeking capital and private lenders willing to finance those investments.

It's a good time to start exploring your loan options and setting yourself up to search alerts so that you can become familiar with the area, and start running the numbers :) it's a little harder to cash flow in the north side, but the appreciation is quite significant. 

Anyways, hope that helps some with your search.

You can find them with a quick search.
