Good luck investing! 

Umbrella Insurance  is a good way to protect assests or some people use both .

I am new to Bigger Pockets and to real estate and would love to get some good information for starters or to just discuss.

On paper, it's a good asset with a good rate to work off of, but thinking you can easily convert both units to 3-bedrooms in Queens is a mistake, one that could cost you.

You'll find most though, give good advice.You can learn something from everyone here, even if it's just a lesson about what NOT to do:)

Just read some of the threads were good people got into syndication did not go right for one reason or another and now they have investors threatening them  suing them turning them into the SEC..

This lets you keep some money in reserve which is always a good idea.
