Looking for RE investment connections in NYC

[Ling Chen]

Hello All,

My name is Ling, I'm a total beginner in real estate investing,  very eager to start.

I live in NYC, I'd like to connect and meet with people locally, partners to work with and groups to join. I want to be in the community and build connections. Thought BiggerPockets might be a good place for it. 

At this moment, I'm specifically interested in how to own a small rental property with zero or little funds and start building passive income.

Thank you

Ling
