Figuring out my real estate investing strategy and goals...

[Luis Cruz]

Hi guys

I am new to Bigger Pockets, have been doing some research on real estate investing, and I am ready to get into it. I am in New York City and I have been thinking about which strategy to approach investing. After listening to the podcast and hearing people's story about owning units and cashflow, I feel like this is the strategy I would like to go.

I had dinner with a friend who is a broker and he was so determined to change my point of view. He believes in buying homes and flipping fast. My point of view is one that's more long term and I am leaning more towards developing a portfolio of several multi-family homes.

What do you guys think about my strategy in an expensive market like NYC? Any advice?

Luis, if you can get the properties at a discount. Buy and hold is a great strategy.
