I might be reviving a dead thread here...  One of my buddies moved out from NYC to Denver and loves every minute of it, and he's the one telling me about the real estate market up there.  The difference being I think he lives in the metro area, and not in the surrounding area.

As someone who hasn't been to Denver yet (planning on visiting in the summer - mid/late July), is Denver also a commuting city?  Like do people drive .5 - 1.5 hrs to get to their workplace?  Judging by this thread, the immediate surrounding areas of the metro area are also getting pricey so I'm looking in the surrounding area to cater to commuters.

this is all good advice. I'm in the same boat as well. My question is should I bring my current 9-5 job business card or create totally new ones? 

I know purchasing cards isn't too expensive so I want to go in with the right appearance/attitude.

Hi everyone!  Thanks for the amazing tips and advice!  Judging from the responses, NY does seem like a tough place to start investing in.  I think I will start with @Joshua Nudell 's suggestion and go out of state.

Here's to the start of an amazing adventure :)

Hi everyone - my name is George.  I am looking at rental real estate since that is what I've had exposure to.  My family owns some property in the Mid West but I want to make my own mark.  I consider my current real estate research and readings a side hustle for now, with hopes of turning it into a full-time commitment.

I currently reside in Queens, New York (just outside of NYC) and it seems that all the property here is priced extremely high.  I have seen housing prices skyrocket during my time in middle/high school and then the housing bubble burst, so I guess I'm getting into investing at a more "stable" time.

I have been looking around the forums for a little bit and it's pretty evident that there are a LOT of smart people here.  I look forward to learning from all of you and hope to be able to give back as well.

Cheers
