Thank you for the comment!

Hey guys,

My team and I are based here in New York and actively invest out of state.  We only do landlord friendly states and have a portfolio of multi family properties.  Feel free to PM me if you need any sort of advice or guidance.

Hello BP community,

Just a little food for thought…as someone who has been actively involved in the real estate investing part of the business. Over the years I have seen various people come and go in our business. I have seen/heard of many individuals coming into this business looking to make quick money; People who refuse to give the business proper time and respect first. These people may do one deal, end up falling on their heads and swear to never return. You have others who will do one deal successfully and decide to move on to something else due to the time being too long during their first deal. Etc.,etc…..

Then you have the select few who “get it”. The ones that take the time to educate themselves FIRST, shadow those who have succeeded in this business, read books, go to networking events, and after properly equipping their mindset; get their first deal.

This is by no means me venting or even a means to plug something. I notice that there are many newbies who are within the BP community and are itching to get involved in deals. This is just simply a piece of advice for those who are serious about building their portfolios. I truly believe the reason why we succeed in this business is because we equip ourselves fundamentally first.

On that note…..Enjoy the journey!

Good to see New Yorkers mingling!  The real estate business can be a very tricky one.  Due diligence is very important.  Speaking to individuals who have experienced the type of investing your looking to do is key.  Best of luck to everyone!
