Hi there :)I'm brand new to real-estate investing but motivated to take action and start gaining momentum on my dreams of building a portfolio of properties. 

My wife and I are very interested in investing in another property as we are eager to expand our portfolio.

Great day to all,I've just been soaking up all the online youtube videos from Bigger pockets one after the other and I've made the determination to scale my business massively using the multifamily addition into our (wife and I) portfolio. 

The greatest advice I got from my mentor when I was starting out was to think like I owned a 100 unit portfolio.

at 26 - you could build a portfolio just by house hacking every 1-2 years for the next 5-10 years.

Sounds like you put in a ton of work to maximize the value, and that basement addition was a smart move.I noticed you mentioned the NYC luxury tax and some of the rental pricing challenges—have you considered expanding your portfolio in markets where you don’t have to deal with those kinds of headaches?

another property to the portfolio, and a continued relationship with a live long client Lessons learned?

In addition to managing a diverse portfolio of rental properties, we've successfully flipped several properties in recent years.

Quote from @Somesh Mukherjee: Hi all, I am looking to diversify & add a small apartment (3-4 units) to my portfolio.

I’ve been investing in Detroit for years and built my 12-door portfolio there, generating $16K/month in gross rents.
