New member from Sunnyside, Queens

[E.J. McLeavey-Fisher]

Hi all.  Been lurking around the forums for a while now but haven't done the intro yet.  My day job is directing TV commercials and documentaries but am super interested in expanding the real estate portfolio, ideally to a point where the investment income can replace some of the TV commercials and I can spend more time on personal directing work!  So buy and holds that can stay afloat in the immediate future and eventually make some more money down the road.

I live in Sunnyside, Queens with my family and I are likely moving to northern NJ in the next year or so, and therefore I've been poking around that area for investment opportunities.  Quickly realizing it may not be the best move, so have been interested in Philadelphia and other driving-distance markets, but also exploring more turnkey ideas further away.  

As you can tell, I'm at the very beginning of this process but eager to get things moving!
