Jessica, 

I am not familiar with the NYC market, but just from assumption I would say yes. Would I say jump overseas? Maybe jumping the gun. There are an abundance of deals, but my first tip for you is to find a mentor at an investor meeting that you can provide value to and learn from them directly. 

Thank you Chandler, I’ll look more into finding a mentor because I definitely need one.

 Hi Anthony, 

Yes NYC is indeed expensive. I was looking for something a bit local like Brooklyn, Queens or Manhattan for it being my first buy or investment.

Hi Matthew,

NYC is a very competitive market and by the time you try and analyze a deal for a home it’s gone. So it’s like catch it when you can. So I just grew tired of being disappointed, so that’s why I was considering overseas.

Hi, I live in New York City where the market for real estate is huge but it feels like I can’t make money here. New York is so big but yet so small, every time I drive drive around to try and make a deal on something, it’s already taken. My question is should I try something overseas? Or how can I apply myself to not feel left behind ?

At what point do I need an LLC? and how can I buy my first home off of my dads home equity without paying a high mortgage?
