I sent colleague requests to you guys and the system thought I was spamming as I added you.  I wanted to work on getting a meetup with all of us, maybe coffee somewhere.  I live in Nesconset.  When I don't reply to your messages cause mine are currently locked I wanted to make sure you know I wasn't just ignoring you guys.  

I was buy and hold in Hawaii for a number of years and still have some stuff there.  Long story short I found myself here on Long Island and am finishing up my RE License and am starting to network now.  I'd like to get back into the market for possibly rehabs.  From what I understand buy and hold here is next to impossible cause of astronomical taxes.  @Joshua Dorkin and @brandon turner (who has apparently disallowed people to tag him in posts) and many of the guys I've heard in the BP Podcasts would guffaw as there is no way (that I've seen) you can be anywhere close to 50% rule here. Once you get into commercial, maybe 50 units, you could but those, here, are millions to get into. Some of the agents I've spoken to here swear by flips and even the investors I've spoken to swear by the MLS here. Apparently Suffolk county doesn't sell their list of tax delinquencies. They go to auction I think after 3 years?
