Main benefits to this strategy include:- Low down payment options (as low as 3-5%)- Acquisition experience- Property management experienceThe NYC metro area has nearly 2,000 available 2-4 unit listings on the market.Other new investors consider the BRRRR Strategy.All the best to you on your journey!

I don't think I can reap the same benefits from notes that I can from owning property.

My goals include:Eliminating PMI for this property (I’m about $12k short in equity from eliminating my PMI requirement).Stabilizing the garden unit so that we start to benefit from the additional cash flow.

The goal here is to align with investors and educate them about the benefits of long-term strategies.

For additional context, here’s a snapshot of our financial situation:We’re paying the mortgage on our primary residence.We have one car with ongoing payments.I anticipate it could take up to three months to find a new job.I’ve already applied for unemployment benefits (in PA) and am waiting for approval.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or insights.
