@Eugene BrownTo expand your property portfolio, leverage equity or savings, explore multi-unit and single-family properties, and consider the BRRRR Strategy.

I recently bought a house with an "illegal" apartment in Jersey City, and I am wondering if we can move in there ourselves to save money.

If it wasn't for the fact I do not want to rely on him for money  ( I have some in savings, but would not last forever), I just have never wanted to be a woman that had to rely on a man, but no one is going to hire me at 7 months pregnant LOL you know?   

The more you engage in real estate, the more savings you will get. 

Your prior question was shold I use my W2 income to pay down (aka you mean what you have saved in your checking account?).

Right now we are building up our savings for the next property! 

Appeal of STR tax savings is appealing, but I don't want to end up like Jackson.Love your post!

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

It’s a reminder that in real estate, continuous learning and valuing experienced advice can save a lot of costly mistakes.

Deciding between buying down the rate and saving for a potential refinance can definitely feel overwhelming.
