Hello Everyone,I live in Snohomish County, WA, and I’m very excited to begin my journey in real estate investing.

Live in one unit and rent out the others.

But still trying to conceptualize how to incorporate ongoing expenses/interest payments and loan paydown into that equation to get a more holisitic image before deciding where to live

Negotiating with people who only live through their emotions is difficult.

@Alex Rodgers, that fact that you could have anywhere from five to eight unrelated individuals living together under one roof. 

I'm currently living in one side of the duplex and planning to rent out the other side.

Hi everyone,Does anyone know a good estate planning attorney who specializes in living trusts in Bridgeport, CT?

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.

I am not living in the Salmon Creek area but thinking about retiring there 10 or so years from now. 

I currently live in a two-story home in North Dallas and recently saw a sign come up in my neighborhood for a one-story home that we originally wanted.
