Hi Bigger pockets community, my name is Jerry Velez and I currently live in Suffolk county, New York and just like a lot of people on here, I was terrified to make my first post on here!

I live in NYC and I’ve yet to check the market.This year I plan on doing as much research as possible as me and my brothers save our money for our first deal, there’s 3 of us total.If you read this far thanks so much!

I guess where you guys live, it is not required to have a Mold Remediation Company do the work?

I live in one side with my partner and rent out the other side (along with an RV garage that is on the property).

Again, it looks like you have already started to do most of this which is great.If you have the flexibility and given you've already indicated a desire for a SFR or Small Multi...I'd buy a small multifamily and live in one side and rent the others.

Jerry, I live in Myrtle Beach and am a Real Estate Agent here.

I live on 5 acres and have plenty of space to build this rental.

I’ll try to make this short: my wife and I own a duplex that we did a live in BRRR (got the refi at 3.5%) and had owned an airbnb that we operated for 6 years but sold because the town decided to do away with them (very nice of them).

The common legal reasons to not renew the tenant are to move in family or to do a rehab large enough that tenant cannot live in the unit.  

No living room sounds like a deal breaker, would at the very least depress the rent you could otherwise get for it.
