Looking to connect with other young investors!

New to Real Estate · New York, NY · Member since 2021 · 3 posts · 7 votes

Hey all! Sending this post out there in the hopes of finding other young newbie investors looking to connect and just bounce ideas off one another. If anyone knows of a group or forum that already exists with this purpose please let me know! Otherwise, please feel free to respond to me below and we can get to know each other.

My name is Pat and I currently reside in Long Island, New York. I am in grad school and hope to begin making offers on properties beginning in 2022. I am still in the education stage of my real estate journey and am trying to decide what my investing strategy will be (primarily trying to pick between remote or in NY). If you are in a similar position as me, let's connect and see how we can help one another.

Hi! Welcome to Bigger Pockets. This has been a fantastic place to learn about investing. We are new and sort of young. Maybe not as young as you, but we’re young. :)

We haven’t done our first deal yet, but we’re close. We are looking at one right now. We are currently interested in flipping, and might consider new construction, but our end goal is rentals. We are flipping to build capital, and then plan to buy rentals with 20% down. We might have to do turnkey in the beginning (we’ve been checking out Rent to Retirement) since my husbands work schedule is a little much right now. 

If we had started younger, we would have done things differently. For example, if you don’t have kids (or if you do and it’s not terribly inconvenient for you) I would suggest house hacking. 

Feel free to reach out anytime! We love to meet new people.
