Newbie from New York City
Hi All,
My name is Jerry and i am currently very interested in owning property outside of NYC. The reason i want to own outside of NYC is because it is very expensive here and i'm only in my early 20's so i lack sufficient capital.
I've been looking into owning in Philadelphia and parts of Florida but been a newbie, i am not sure of what to look for or if these are good markets to pursue. The main reason i join was to learn as much as possible before making my first steps in Real Estate.
A little about myself.
- I was a fully licensed stockbroker.
- currently working in Accounting
- i have invested in Real Estate but only through crowdfunding
- i've lived in NYC practically my whole life
Hope to learn and make friends/connections with all of you!!
On a side note, i've read great things about the podcast so i shall start listening to it.
