Despite the plumbing being old, it was still functioning as intended.

Would reiterate what others have said in terms of using BP's search functionality to find other investors nearby.I know there is a Hudson County MeetUp (if I can find it I'll send it to you). 

Basics: *All* of the commercial RE, along with the modest but functional building that houses our business, is valued at somewhere around 600k total.

The fireplace was non functioning when I purchased the property so I had the contractor disconnect the gas to it.

It has accounting functions and it may be good, I've never used it though.  

Either multifam or house hack will work because they function practically the same if you use it as a primary residence. 

Legislature or the function of the Bureau to have inspections conducted for the purpose of completing real estate transactions.

If you buy another Duplex or a "functional duplex" with a basement you can rent out, you can keep your expenses low and save up for more investing.That said, If you love where you're living, go buy a rental on the west side with some heloc money on your current place and a new mortgage.

If those vents are not functioning or have been covered by some type of renovation this could be a cause of the air being forced from your outlets.

Save up your money another downturn is coming.Automation and the internet are gonna kill a lot of jobs and entire industries, A lot of people are entirely dependent upon their stock market 401K or pensions (Some of the funds will never be able to pay up) for their income, the country is $20 Trillion in debt and no one can agree on anything, the healthcare system is in a state of complete debacle, we have recently seen 3 major disasters hit our soil (Houston, Florida and Puerto Rico - Puerto Rico was already broke and now they need more money because they are even more broke than they were before) - Our government and most of it's people are still operating on an economic system which was designed 90 years ago (3 generations) which will no longer function as we go forward -  Interest rates have to go up eventually which means more expensive money, Let's not forget the tax thing (We had a 94% income tax rate and they confiscated gold during the great depression)  etc, etc, fill in the blankNow I don't want to be a Negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer but someone has to survive the next downturn to pick up the pieces.
