Options on investing while living in NYC

[Eric P.]

As many of you may know, NYC isn't cheap. Seeking out an attractive investment opportunity in NYC is extremely hard and huge entrance barrier for someone who doesn't have too much money. Yields aren't very attractive with high home prices. You can pretty much get the same amount of rent for half the price of a home elsewhere.

What are my options? I am considering turn-key providers but many of them aren't reputable enough for me to feel comfortable investing with them. Anyone have any recommendations for turn-key providers?
