Living in MN.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to focus first on finding a distressed SFH that I can add value to, live in for a few years, and keep as part of my long-term portfolio.I like your suggestion about building the “core 4” team—agent, lender, contractor, and property manager—and will definitely prioritize that as I move forward.

So you might be living in the US or in Europe, investment properties are bought to outsource and earn from the cashflow.

When I checked the PVA records, they show 2,419 living sq ft but list zero sq ft as basement.

I live in New York as well, but have chosen to go out of state for my investments. 

Flexibility for Multi-Generational Living - SB 9’s provisions also make it easier for property owners to develop housing for extended family members.
