Very confused about co-ops. Buying a place for my mom, and the area only has co-ops. Can I buy a co-op for her or is that not allowed since the owner needs to live in the co-op?

Would depend on the specific rules of a particular co-op.

Co-ops to my knowledge are not building purchases, they are equities which give you the right to live in the building. You become a shareholder in the building.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
