New kid on the block

[Moosa Shahadat]

Hi all,

Hope everyone's well. Brooklyn NY native here. 24 years old working in Finance for about 3 years now. 

I'm looking to begin my first real estate investment and could use any and all advice. 

I've gone through some of the intro videos here on BP to get an understanding of the principles of real estate investing. But I'm sure I'll soak in a lot more from starting a convo and listening to you guys on how to begin. I have about 50k that I'm comfortable investing, but of course the first question we all have- how?  Is it worth starting here in Brooklyn? I know NYC is brutal for newbies to get started in real estate; with studio apartments costing an arm and a leg. Which is why I'm open to the idea of investing elsewhere. 

And of course, if there's any particular readings/forums that you think may help, please pass them along. Thanks everyone for your time. Have a great week!
