New Member Rochester, NY

Hi everyone,

Excited to be here. I've been listening to the podcast for some time now, and finally decided its time to become a little more engaged. My name is Steve and I am a chiropractor looking to get into real estate in Rochester, New York. I am very new to all this but my ultimate goal would be to start with a multi-family duplex and do an owner occupy to get started. My girlfriend and I have very little of our own capital to invest at this time, so any advice with creative ways to get into the game would be greatly appreciated. I am also super interested in the BRRRR method, but again am worried about costs for rehab, and how people have been able to build rehab costs into a loan, if that is even feasible. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice. I'm looking forward to meeting people and getting the ball rolling.

Have a great day.

Welcome Stephen! I am also here in Rochester NY and have just purchased my first property. I am currently rehabbing it and hope to have it rent ready by April. My big focus this year as a new investor is networking so if you have any questions or would like to see my current project in person just let me know. Also, there is a local REI group that meets up here locally. Look up FFREIA and you should find it. The first 2 meetings are free and they are having a meeting this Thursday night. There is also another group that I have found on here that meets up in Rochester. If you follow @Rebecca Lebowitz I believe that she coordinates the meetings when they happen.

Best of Luck to you!!
