I'm new here

Hello everyone,

I'm Sebastian, a current senior at UC Berkeley studying Economics and graduating in May of 2025. I put my location as New York since that is where I will be moving after college for work. A friend recommended this site to me and I am about halfway through their beginners guide book. Looking for any and all other ways to continue to learn about the space, with the current goal being to familiarize myself enough with it to be able to start taking action in the coming years. Thanks !

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Sebastian Romeo Harris!

All the best to you during your last semester.

Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.

For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.

There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.
