I'm a newer investor looking for a mentor, I live in Nassau county New York. I was wondering what would be the best town or area to start my investing experience? Also should I look for foreclosure? Thank you all for reading this looking forward to hear your opinions.

Hi @Thomas Manning

1. get a deal calculator (BP has some), use it and start to understand the meaning of the underlying data.

2. Get on the MLS and start analyzing properties in your area. Analyze anything you can find.

3. This will teach you enough about your local markets to start answering your own questions on where to invest as well as give you food for thought on what you are trying to achieve with investing (what kind of investing, your criterea, etc)

Good luck
