For my long term rentals I am no longer purchasing in New York State and I am going to be searching out of state in a more landlord friendly state such as Ohio or Pennsylvania.

With broad, high-level criteria, you may be able to easily cross of a number of neighborhoods where the numbers simply do not make sense (assuming you already have your buy box nailed down).

Search the BP for ADU appraisals to encounter numerous examples.

Not sure where you're planning to take her but here are a few of the local favorites:-Pappas on Taylor Ave (they've opened up a few new locations too)-Kocos Pub on Harford Rd in Lauraville-Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market-Box Hill Pizzeria in Abingdon (about 45 minutes outside of Baltimore but worth the drive!)

Also, try to get two or more electrical boxes so the tenants pay their own as well as heating zones.

Best of luck with the search.

A loose plan in hand is better than a dozen frantic Google searches, trust me.

You've earned $132,000 more by splitting your money and leveraging it.Since I've been searching for more deals I have seen one or two that might actually cash flow decently but most seem to be at break even assuming normal expenses, vacancies, etc.I'm just learning my comfort levels with leveraging and trying to take advice from others about managing multiple low cash flow properties vs. one higher value one. 

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.
