Hey all -
I live in NYC and I am a newbie real estate investor. I just closed on my first cash-flowing rental property in Memphis, TN through Roofstock. I work in live events doing audio video and lighting. I work as a freelancer, so the lending process was particularly difficult and my first deal nearly fell through, despite earning decent income.
I am looking to share my experience and learn as much as I can. I am particularly interested in looking to learn from other freelancers (along with the pluses and minuses of being a freelancer and investor). I would also like to learn from other investors who live in big cities, but invest in real estate out of state.
Check out the nearby members and network at https://www.biggerpockets.com/meet, it will help you a lot to find partners that can help you out in investing.

Wow congrats Tim! That’s pretty inspiring. I live in NYC as well and I’ve been hesitant on long distance investing because I’m a newbie as well but now I have no excuses.
