It's advisable to consult with experienced real estate professionals and conduct detailed market research before making any investment decisions.

We don't at all regret the decision to move as it led to us becoming financially free.

With a deep passion for NYC's unique real estate market, I specialize in helping investors and professionals make informed and profitable decisions.

That said: I stay away from townhomes due to the presence of HOAs; they can make decisions you are not party to which can materially effect your cash flow.

I know this is a bit preemptive and I don’t have much to protect but I am trying to think long term small steps to my final goalplease let me know if I’m incorrect as not having them would save headache I’m sure haha. 

My buddy is at a hedge fund and the same Greed/Fear that drive a retail investor often drive his decisions too.

Honestly, smartest decision I made.
