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.

This is what I see younger high W2 earners in the Bay Area doing.For #2 buying land- is that only specific to Texas?
