New York Market for young and new investors

[Jalen Henningsen]

Hi guys! I am a very driven 23 year old trying to get into Multi-Family investing as fast as possible. I live in Iowa right now, but I am planning on moving to a better market that will uplift my potential to succeed. I am interested in the big city, and was wondering what it would take to get started in New York? I want to house hack and get to financial freedom as fast as possible so I am able to start my own real estate investing business. The reason I'm interested in New York is getting an oppurtunity to meet and learn from the powerful players, and it seems like a place where money can be made. If I'm wrong please let me know and suggest other markets that would be a better starting point. I will have $30K-40K with no debt by December 1st, 2018. Looking forward for the feedback! :)
