New to BP! Living in NYC & Looking to Buy n' Hold

Hi BP Community,

I am living in Manhattan, looking to invest in a buy and hold property in greater New York and/or New Jersey (pretty much anything within 1-2 hours by train from The City) for some passive income.

I'm originally from Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and I hope to build a portfolio down there too. Most of my connections are in South Florida, but I don't yet feel comfortable doing deals down there with such little experience and such a long distance. 

Looking forward to learning and meeting awesome people! I'd love to get together with anyone with similar goals, advice, or jsut for some like-minded conversation.

Real Estate seems so fun! I can't wait to get my hands dirty.

 Hi Aaron,

Welcome to the BP Community. I work with many investors in Manhattan and the boroughs. I'd be happy add value to you and let me know if you have any questions or interest in connecting.

Best,

Barry Herbst
