Rental Property Investor from New York City, NY

Hey BP fam!

I’m so happy to be here and learn!

This is my first post and I'm interested in buying my 1st property. Looking to buy a SFH or small multi-family (1 - 4 units). I have $60k in cash to BRRRR.

Below is a target list of area/cities I’m familiar with:

Newark, NJ

Rutherford, NJ

Paterson, NJ

Mount Vernon, NY

Staten Island, NY

Stamford, CT

Eerie, PA

Philadelphia, PA

Atlantic City, NJ

East New York, Brooklyn, NY

Jamaica, Queens, NY

Bronx, NY

Westchester, NY

Yonkers, NY

I am most certainly not opposed to venturing outside of this list but would prefer an area I can drive to and manage. A 3 hour drive from my current Brooklyn apartment would be manageable. I should mention that I do have a partner in Fort Lauderdale, FL who can manage property for me. So any areas nearby Fort Lauderdale I am not opposed to.

I would love to hear your opinions and suggestions. Perhaps other areas I should look into or other investment strategies I should consider or major concerns I should seriously consider.

Thank you in advance.

-Jose B.

Hey Jose,

Welcome to the BP forums! Best place to be to connect with the community and get your questions answered.

I highly recommend narrowing your list down to 2-3 locations then eventually cut it down to 1. This doesn't mean you shouldn't consider other areas but the focus should be the first deal. While choosing an area, getting pre-approved for financing or at the very least, speaking with a lender about your overall financial situation will help you determine the best price point. Once you narrow things down, find a dedicated Realtor, lender and attorney (if needed) and you can aggressively target your first property. 

Best of luck to you on your journey!

Abel
