Advice for Aspiring RE Investor in the Long Island area

Hello all - I am 24 and saving for my first real estate investment property in the LI area.

Does anyone have any advice or experience investing in the LI area (E.g., Location, SFH v. MFH)? Any and all advice is appreciated.

I was planning on saving up $50 throughout 2021 to purchase my first LI property in the $350-400K area. Does this sound feasible?

Thank you all for your advice!

    Hi @Shalinder Latkha, welcome to the Biggerpockets forums!  

    This sounds reasonable, but I would encourage to consider investing in a lower cost market.  Your $50k might by you a $300-400k property in your market, but possibly the most important question is:  will it cashflow? 

    If you could rent that property for $3k-$4k monthly and experience low vacancy then that's a great situation!  If you would be renting it less than that or have predictably high vacancy, then your money may be better used in a different market.  This is a great way to build even more diversification int your investing :)
