@Thomas WrightYou may benefit from attending a local real estate investing networking event in Brooklyn.More often than not - there will be a wide range of professionals attending the event form realtors/investors/lenders.If you connect with some well - you can exchange numbers and grab coffee/lunch.

I am new to the forum, and looking forward to gaining information.

Everything is in the details and can get complex so have to do the upfront work to gain clarity. 

With the average expected salary of these corporate jobs being around 150K, it will surely benefit an already great market. 

In any case since it will be your first house, it will still be considered your principal place of residence with all the tax benefits.

As I can take my portion of the depreciation that money should mostly be tax free which is a big benefit to me.

Initially, my estimations of this property seemed like an opportunity that couldn't be missed, but as I have researched them further, the benefit has slowly dwindled.

Getting involved in the local community is a good start and then deciding in how you would like to help and how your skills would benefit others.  

You will have benefited from loan paydown and appreciation while you lived there.

@Andrew Faukner I agree, that is a great idea and many Investors would benefit from using it.
