Journey of the Newb, Is Landlording for Me?

Kendra Gimblet

Hello NYC Newbie here,

My question is if a person wanted to see substantial income within 5 years of real estate investment what niche should be chosen? I thought being a landlord would be a smart thing to do, but could I begin to see a replacement of income within that amount of time?

A friend of mine says that there may be more success in both obtaining properties and managing other landlord's properties.

Any thoughts? Suggestions of things to read.
