Looking for advice

[Jarred Marrow]

Hello all at BP. I am currently trying to figure out the best strategy for my goals which is to buy my first property. I am not sure which market to look into as right now I am currently in new york and was told my best bet for cash flow would be to look oos for deals that I could use as a rental or house hack. I am currently employed but making only 30k as in new york that is nothing, but i do have 30k saved in which i was looking to take some of this money and starting my real estate journey. If anyone has any advice or can point me in the direction to get started of what is my best best to figure this out please feel free to comment! Aso was looking in areas such as texas, OH, I would love to stay in NY but not sure my income is high enough to get something suited for here.
