:) Yeah - I have an appraisal in hand for the property, that was completed just a couple of weeks ago, that is substantially higher than the asking price.

I am completely new to the investing side and would love to find something to meet new people/learn as well as learn more about the city. 

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

Quote from @Lamier Guzman: @Jaycee Greene I was thinking Hampton or Virginia Beach, leaning more into Hampton honestly for the duplex's but after my military contract and my 1 year of residing in the duplex is complete I plan on renting both units and moving to Florida or Texas to purchase SFH's and BRRRR them.

Those particles might not be washing down completely.

While I didn't like feeling I was in Time Square on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the New York side felt completely dead. 

It’s a completely ridiculous and obscure law to me, and definitely ruined my day!

Our laws require us to offer a rental first come first served (first completed application that qualifies must be offered the unit).

That 2625 would completely offset the entire 2000 payment. 

Its usually called a post-completion or post-purchase mortgage.
