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,
