Did the value of my home go up or down?

@Matt Guignon thank you for reaching out.

@Abigail LincolnWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

If you have narrowed down an area you like research the heck out of it. 

Use Real Estate By the Numbers as your guide, make sure it tracks the loan pay down and depreciation and have all of those numbers pour into a Schedule E.

I wouldn't rule out a duplex as we have far more duplex properties than quadplexes.

If you run out, you’re dead in this business.

(normally recommended, especially if you are a landlord)- Water Backup: For water damage due to the backup of Sewers or Drains.- Personal Articles: Coverage for belongings that have a special or collectors valuesuch as Jewelry, Furs, Fine Arts, Collectibles, etc...Your age should not be a factor on the pricing but, depending on the company these other factors may get you credits:- Insurance Score (company pulls certain info out of your credit report).

Renting out one side can help offset your mortgage, which is a huge advantage while you're building financial stability.

I reached out 1/25/23 for another update, received a response 1/27/23 that they are working through the influx of information requests and they would get back to me soon.
