Newbie in the Hudson Valley and Catskills region in NY

[Dacia Ray]

Hi all --

I'm a new investor, in the process of a career change. I've previously done a startup magazine/media company and a startup nonprofit, both in NYC. I'm making a lifestyle shift to living upstate and right now deep in learning about real estate investing. I currently own a coop apartment in Brooklyn and a cabin in the Catskills that I cashflow through AirBnB rentals. I'm interested in investing in small multifamily properties and vacation rentals, focusing on the west side of the Hudson River with a particular interest in multifamily properties in Kingston and cabins/cottages in the Catskills. I'm also interested in talking with other women investors, and I'm reading and listening to the BiggerPockets podcast a lot right now as I figure out my strategy.

I'm looking forward to talking and learning with everyone!

Hi Dacia,

It's great to meet you on BP.  I'm a real estate broker and investor/rehabber focusing in Ulster Co.

Most of our agents, myself included, all had different lives in NYC (some still split their time) and have owned and built, rehabbed and rented vacation rentals rentals since 2001.

We are mostly women, but also have some wonderful male agents/investor in our group.

I'd love to meet up when you are in the area for a coffee and a chat.

Very truly yours,

Cree
