I'd love to connect and hear more about your investment goals and criteria.

Hello -Looking to buy a duplex in Albany, NY as an investment property but have little cash. 

🙏☺️ I completely understand where you’re coming from & you’re right that owning real estate is a key step toward truly being an investor.I’m still new to the game, but I have a solid plan in place to move toward ownership & establish myself as a real estate investor.

How did you get started in real estate investing?

The first images of his website did not focus on real estate investments, but materialism. 

To match them, I use a formula Sofa: solid color textured pillow (2) + patterned pillow (2) + solid color (2)King bed: 26"x26" pillows (3) + lumbar/body pillow at least 48"L (1) - I'll do a print + a solidQueen Bed: 26"x26" pillows (2) + lumbar pillow 36" (1)Twin/Bunk: 14" x 20" lumbar pillow (1)In outdoor spaces, I keep it simple and match the pillows to the rug.For artificial plants I source from Nearly Natural, Wayfair and Home Depot. 

I agree that the upside here is knowing most of the mechanicals need to be redone upfront, so there should be fewer ‘surprises’ along the way.Setting aside a solid contingency fund is a must—do you have a rule of thumb for that?

New to real estate investing and looking for other perspectives on getting starting. 

House hacking a duplex is a solid way to get started in real estate while keeping your living costs low.

I grew up north of San Francisco and then moved to live and invest in Reno, NV.
