The question really is whether in the future the school system will improve? I have heard about the not so good school system but in my unprofessional opinion, I think Philly have a great chance of improving.

@Tanya Wehr

I was thinking in similar lines about Philly, I have a friend that recently moved to the area and I was thinking of moving down there myself. For now I am just keeping my options open.

@Matthew Irish-Jones

Thank you for contributing to this post and for giving me some insights. My only reservation is that it is far for me now starting with real estate, but will definitely look there in the future.

Best of luck

@Abel Curiel

Hello, thank you for the welcome and the additional advice. I know that I won't be able to do everything myself so it's good to learn who else out there can help me.

Best of luck to you as well.

@Eleena de Lisser

Thank you for the welcome. Out on Long Island might be far but to learn it might be close enough. How is investing in Philadelphia?

Good luck to you as well

@Alina Trigub

Thank you for the detail instruction for someone like me looking to start without any knowledge in this field. I would love some great book recommendations, as I am reading everything I can at this moment.

@Steve Kontos

Thank you for your wise words. My only issue with out of state starting off is not being able to visit the actual properties while transitioning from a full-time job. I have heard from others how bad NYC is especially with the new legislations making it worse landlords. Now I have to start finding those landlord friendly state in order to make my numbers work as well. I don't have an in so I am in the same boat as most.

Best of luck to you as well.

@Trevor Ewen How far out of state did you go and how do you manage from afar?

Thank you for the offer.

@Marc Winter Thank you.

Thank you for adding to the sage advice of @Alex Furini.

I do not know what kind of real estate investments are good for me. But at this point, I am looking for long-term hold with positive cash flow.

@Tanya Wehr Thanks for being apart of the thread. What made you start looking in Philly? I heard that it have a future but did not do the research myself.  But based on the rest of the posts here, it looks like investors from NYC are going to Jersey close to NYC.
