Not sure if she's ever started a lawn mower or shoveled a sidewalk, and not sure her dad will drive 45 minutes to do so.House really seems better suited to the couple, but have an inkling to single woman might be a bit more chill with maintenance stuff has a history of living in some pretty rugged places.

But with that comes more expenses, more insurance, more turnover, more cleaning services (I live 3 hours away) - so much more to deal with. 

“The cheapest shirts are at Dollar General, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are the best.”How often when trying to save on “expenses” we end up costing ourselves double or triple by going with the least expensive (cheapest) option.  

I was under the understanding that I could do a room ratio and deduct 50% of the upper unit expenses due to all other areas being equally shared.

I look forward to continuing to learn from the BiggerPockets community as I navigate my real estate investing journey.I’ve had some success on the eastern shore of Maryland, though even that market has started to frankly become expensive, there are still pockets of potential growth both rent & appreciation, thoigh it’s becoming harder to find, also there is a massive rental shortage out there, a county I just put a property contract on, literally has 3 properties for rent right now, but it does make rental comps quite difficult, outside of that I’ve started looking a little more into western Md and some southern pa markets but still trying to get a feel for them, overall I think in this market places that are affordableish and have some draw will do well with the continued wfh + affordability crisis but keep in mind while I think the eastern shore is actually fairly safe market for the most part a lot of rural areas definitely have boom bust potential and in theory more risk than dc metro, though the low price points do by definition tend to mitigate some of those risks. 

BP does not promote the easy way to make Money from Real Estate by buying your Home and living in it for 2 out of 5 years to Sell for up to $250,000 Tax-free.

I will be moving into the 1 and 1 and remodeling while living there. 

I currently live in NY, invest in NEPA (scranton, archbald) and would like to expand into Allentown PA.

However, we're considering selling to buy a primary residence where we live though. 

It's in a city (outside the USA in Mexico) that has seen major growth the last 3-5 years and has great prospects to continue growing thanks to nearshoring and high cost of living across the border in the USA.I spoke to an architect and it looks like a 4-unit building can be built on there.
