New York City Real Estate Lawyer, Broker and soon to be investor

[David Gerard]

Greetings, my name is David Gerard,  I primarily handle real estate transactions, I broker as well, and I am looking to get into real estate investment as well.  Primarily looking for low-cost, low-risk properties, and I am also interested in joining an investment club to pool resources.  Thank you for allowing me into your community, hopefully I can provide as much value as I receive.
