Hi everyone, first time joiner here on bigger pockets. Looking to get started in real estate investing and really just trying to develop a strategy right now (i.e. what type of strategy to start with, where to find properties). I'm just spending much of my time reading books, articles and listening to the BP podcast right now before I dive in. Thinking about possibly getting started with wholesaling, but not quite sure yet. Seems quite difficult to find anything near the NYC area. Any advice for a newbie like myself is certainly much appreciated!

Sometimes niche or specialized housing like student housing can work on areas like NYC.
