Newbie in Long Island NY
Good Morning all! My name is Charlie. I am from Long Island, New York. I work a full time job in Manhattan, I am married, with 2 kids, and I own a home. I have been sick and tired of the rat race, and have had enough. I figured I have no right to complain if I am not going to try and do something about it. I am completely new to the real estate game, but the cash flow theory has lured me in. A co worker of mine put me on to BP, and explained how he learned alot here, and now has 2 properties under his belt. I have been doing some research, and listening to podcasts the last few weeks. I have picked a nitch, that being buy and hold, and I am looking forward to getting started. I just don't think investing in the NY market is going to be doable for me, and I am thinking of looking in the areas surrounding NY (Jersey, PA, etc).
Any tips, advice, or lessons are appreciated!
