understand it's expensive / high barrier of entry but the midwest comes with issues too

i think it's worth it

what you don't want to do is buy a random property that looks great and then start sinking tens of thousands into it

like these folks

 Yikes! I definitely wouldn’t want those issues. Maybe I should just keep aiming for in the states. I was thinking of properties that were more 3-4 hour drive away rather than the midwest but I can still have these same issues.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to buy property in my home market of NYC, but it's been quite challenging. 

@Manuel A Zuaznabar if you can find a house hack (2-4 units if possible) deal that makes sense locally, do it. Otherwise I'd suggest looking into other affordable markets that have a good growth rate & other economic drivers. 

I originally started off as a OOS investor from CA and chose to invest in the Midwest. Happy to answer any questions you might have if you're interested in that kind of investing. 
 


 I would love to pick your brain if possible. Especially since you came from a HCOL state as well.

can you start with a house hack

I can but currently multi families in my area run  in the 700-800,000 range so numbers are tight and heavily reliant on the tenants. I would preferably love to house hack of course.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to buy property in my home market of NYC, but it's been quite challenging. I'm considering looking into Pennsylvania or upstate New York instead and would appreciate any advice. I've spoken to fellow firefighters who have invested upstate, and they seem to be doing well.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hey Manny, I worked with you for a bit @ your FH in Brooklyn. Glad to see you’re into RE, I’m an investor looking to acquire more units. The market shift has me feeling a little stuck and overwhelmed every place I look. 


Oh wow you worked with me? Sorry for not recognizing you haha. I also have a twin who works in a firehouse in Brooklyn. But honestly I do think it’s me you worked with. Like I said I would be happy to connect.

Hey Manuel! Thank you for your service!


 Thank you! I’ve always wanted to serve others. I know it may sound crazy but I went into real estate to do more acts of service and I believed helping others buy their dream homes and help them navigate through one of the biggest financial decisions they could  make in their  lives was probably one of the best ways I can serve others.
