Hey pal and welcome to the Real Estate world. You're going to want to read up as much as possible. Listen to the podcasts and start saving. The Juice is worth the squeeze!

Hello  @Colet Coke and welcome to the forums. You'll find a lot of useful information here. I strongly suggest you read up as much as you can and put the knowledge into practice.

First and foremost, you may want to  enlist the service of a Real Estate Agent in the market you are looking to invest in. You'll want to know your numbers, be pre-approved, and be willing to be coached on how to go about purchasing investment property. If you choose to go at it alone, that is fine. Just be prepared to do a lot of the leg work.

Then the shopping begins. Explain to your agent what numbers you would like and he/she will present you with properties and hopefully do the analysis for you. They will likely want you to sign an Exclusive Right to Represent as most agents wish to have some assurance in writing for the amount of work it takes to analyze properties and show.

And ask questions! Ask many many many questions!

Oh No! I'm sorry to hear that! I feel like if there was a chatroom, I'd guarantee be in it every day while at my desk. Haha!

Forgive me if my phone limitations kept me from finding the appropriate link. I am looking for any indication of an active chat room. I thought for sure I saw one once a few years back. Anyone know what happened?

Welcome Biggerpockets @Bill Dengler. You're find plenty of great information on here! 

Looks like you've got yourself a pretty great set of goals there! Great stuff!

Wow. Lots of good insight here. I'm following this for the next few years.

As of today. I don't see a chat room. A chat room would be nice for those of us looking to chat real time!

Hi @Andre Calvi and welcome to BP. You'll find this place is great for learning and networking! Congratulations on your decision to get in on the action! Westchester Multi family is tricky at the moment as it is a sellers market and inventory is low at the moment.

Have you worked out your Financing and what kind of returns you are looking for?
