Happy to point you in the right direction and help send some connections your way.

Renting out one side can help offset your mortgage, which is a huge advantage while you're building financial stability.

all materials, all labor costs to others, Not you, utilities, interest payments, permits, licenses, auto/truck expenses, tools needed are all deductable. 

If you have any questions feel free to reach out I can help clear any confusion or help look at the comparisons.  

Especially advice to help an introvert.I’m not sure if there are any meet-ups in my area.

Happy to network and help/mentor any way possible! 

That said, it would be hard to determine if this is a move that will help or hurt you with such little information. 

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!

I just helped someone to buy his first multifamily in Kingston.I'm licensed in NYC and Ulster The area is hot, I get great deals daily, and the price/rent ratio is good.
