Where to look for investments while living in new york city

[Roland Nzonzila]

Hi! My name is Roland and I am a 22 years old immigrant from D.R.Congo, Africa living in new york city. As everyone here, I am really interested in REI but all have done so far is read and Do a little research about it. Im mostly intersted in house flips and rentals. I am willing to know where to start my REI in any area not far from nyc bc i believe its too scary and difficult to invest in nyc especially for a newbie like me lol
