New to Investing

[Mark Allen]

Hello BP Community,

Like many others I have been reading and listening to a lot of material.  

I plan to attend the next local REIA meet up in the Hudson Valley to connect with those in my area face to face.

Strategy - I plan to pursue a buy and hold strategy with SFR or multi family properties. Primarily interested in properties that needs some TLC.

Looking for advice and contacts in the following areas:

Advice - Best places to invest in Orange/Rockland, NY Counties or Bergen/Passaic, NJ Counties

Contacts - Real estate agent, title company and property management in the above areas.

Things I bring to the table are cash and contacts with contractors in the local area.

I appreciate any help sent my way.

Regards,

Mark
