Want to Build a Network,invest in real estate, with different strategies, and advice
Hi, my name is Manny I'm local to the Hudson Valley, NY area I've been out of the Military since last year and have been job hoping since. I'm very interest in investing. Listening to BP and on the market during my day job helps me want to achieve my financial goals, I have my first goal of finding a agent who would like to help brand new investors. My first plan would be to find a multi-family, and turn it into a mid-term rental for "sober living" companies and traveling companies, then expand to OOS investments.
