Thanks! I am mostly targeting certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn that are yet to be revitalized, such as East NY, East Flatbush, and Canarsie,. I am also looking at downtown Jamaica, Queens. The area was recently rezoned and is expected to see a new wave of commercial development, which will result in an increase in housing values. 

What part of Queens are you from?

Thanks, James!

Thanks Paul! I've gone through some of those links you listed and the info was definitely invaluable. Will go through the remaining.

Hello all! I joined the BP community a few months ago but haven't formally introduced myself. My name is Shola and I currently live and work in Manhattan. I moved here 6 years to enroll in a Master's program in commercial real estate finance & investments at NYU. I now work as a Director of Acquisitions for a private equity real estate company and have been in the field for the past 7 yrs. 

I am at the point where I feel like I have sat on the sideline long enough, witnessing my employers make millions in New York real estate. With a mountain of student loan debt to pay off coupled with my desire to achieve financial freedom, I have now decided it's time to start building my own portfolio as an entrepreneur and investor.

I am starting off with wholesaling to generate cash flow and I eventually plan to accumulate rental properties. I launched my first direct mail marketing campaign yesterday. Word on the street is that NYC is a tough market for wholesalers but willing to test it out myself before making any judgments. We will see how it goes!

In any case, I am really excited to be part of the BP community and looking forward to learn as much as I can, as well as contribute!!

I will be there!
