New Member seeking to Connect with like-minded individuals to Start OOS
Hi Everyone, My Name is James, and I have decided to invest in my first property this year,
I currently live in NYC and as I can't afford property here due to the price within my local market area, I am seeking properties out of state. Would love to connect with investors, realtors, property managers, and the like within the Tristate area (Pennsylvania, Connecticut) and surrounding areas like Ohio as I am looking for Light rehab or Turnkey properties as my starting points within multifamily.
My background within RE is interning for a property management firm during college and then for the last 2 years managing and am continuing to manage 5 units here for my family. Been saving up and feeling ready but have been stuck in analysis paralysis/ Fear along with high interest rates the last year preventing me from getting started. If anyone has any tips on what to look for before investing in OOS(Out of state) or just wanna connect and talk. I appreciate all views and comments good or bad.
Thank you Bigger Pockets Community for giving me a place to learn and grow on my REI journey.
James.W
