The Villages have pretty much surrounded us and actually have built a recreation park along one side of our property, another side is lake front.

My other concern is that the property is 150 years old and I'd be expanding to an area where my main bank does not do business in; The town has 5,000 people and surrounding areas with 40,000 people so I wanted to get a feel and see what the BP community had experienced in this situation.  

I’d love to ask questions and gain some more insight on the market and learn the do’s & don’t’s when buying my first 2-family home.I’m currently looking at middlesex county, monmouth county, mercer county and have at times looked at areas like North Newark, Kearny, etc, but my ideal location is middlesex county and a radius of 15 miles surrounding it.Reach out, i’d love to chat with everyone!

We would like to act as soon as we can but want to make sure we have all our ducks in a row.Looking to connect to anyone and everyone in Chicago/ milwaukee, surrounding areas to learn as much as possible.

There are surrounding towns near each that would be more economical than living in the downtown urban areas.Good luck and welcome to Texas Yall! 

Scarcity defines the current market conditions here in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

It shouldn't be taken lightly.Adequate and appropriate liability insurance would be a general first step (which might include a general policy and an umbrella policy).Maybe an LLC makes sense, but you'll want to rope in your tax advisor to make sure you're keeping administrative costs as low as possible in the beginning.A good tax advisor will help you navigate business deductions surrounding the use of your property, as home daycare allocations are unique.
