New Investor from Queens, NY - Interested in Rentals

[George Chang]

Hi everyone - my name is George.  I am looking at rental real estate since that is what I've had exposure to.  My family owns some property in the Mid West but I want to make my own mark.  I consider my current real estate research and readings a side hustle for now, with hopes of turning it into a full-time commitment.

I currently reside in Queens, New York (just outside of NYC) and it seems that all the property here is priced extremely high.  I have seen housing prices skyrocket during my time in middle/high school and then the housing bubble burst, so I guess I'm getting into investing at a more "stable" time.

I have been looking around the forums for a little bit and it's pretty evident that there are a LOT of smart people here.  I look forward to learning from all of you and hope to be able to give back as well.

Cheers
