I will be setting my goals on Monday with my coach so I can come up with a plan and take another action step. 

I am not sure which REIA you are planning on attending, but I have been a part of several and while most are great, some can be full of sales.

Another thing to consider: My mom is planning on giving me this property as my inheritance but was considering just gifting it to me before she dies.

And at the end of the day, buying now with the plan to refinance and tap into natural and or forced equity in a few years is almost always a solid move.Those are my two cents on the market if you're on the fence.

Want to do the right thing and not get entangled in anything that would disrupt my plan.

That being said I'm planning to post a case study of how I helped my brother-in-law, a Contractor with a small 4-man team, go from struggling to $46,000 in new business in a very short time frame.If I had to write a highly click-bait worthy headline for this case study it would go something like...REVEALED: Struggling Contractor Signs $46,000+ in NEW Business in 7 days for FREE Without Paid Advertising Using This Simple 3-Step SystemI'm a glutton for memes, dad jokes, and anything that pokes fun at how ridiculous us marketers slice and dice language and communication in our marketing :)

My brother-in-law specializes in building patio covers, fences, decks, pergolas for residential homeowners.

Planning is everything. 

I am currently planning on staying in the NYC area while I start my career, save up capital and continue to educate myself on real estate, but eventually I would like to move out of New York to start investing somewhere more affordable.

-You can have decks built into the home plan.

Our plan basically reversed, and we now have a beautiful main house but no ADU and no cashflow yet.
