So far I would say it has been a good investment but I don't really know how big I can scale it or how long it will take.At the same time, if there's a big investor looking for someone to help manage their portfolio in NYC or Long Island I would be open to jump on board so I can learn as well.

Furthermore, a big driver for me is to be able to care for both of my parents in their retirement, my auntie who recently lost her husband and help friends or strangers in need.Now I am looking to network and get more intimate with the market I am eyeing - and of course, continue to learn.- Oh, and I am a total nomad.

I appreciate the help

Make sure to plan ahead and speak to an investor friendly lender that can help you look ahead at potential roadblocks and how to avoid them or overcome them before getting your self into a sticky situation. 

Does anyone have any experience or advice they are willing to share to help me work through this issue?

You will want to use some of the free calculators to help you with expenses, NOI, and cash flow.

I appreciate your help! 

There are several apps out there that can help if you are not using them already, one is called padsplit that i've seen. 

Super helpful info though.

I was working as a lead carpentry for a remodeling in company in Seattle, but left in Oct. 2023 to help with my family's property and turn my side work full time, which is slowing down.
