from the Bronx, just want to say Hi-newbie here

Hi Everyone!!

thanks for all the great post on this web, very helpfull!! :)

i am new in this business and here, just planning to get my first investment property within the next 3 to 6 months, a 2 or 3 family home in the bronx or brooklyn area in new york city. Already talking to some real estate brokers, and mortgage companies, while also running some basic numbers to start understading if the deal make sense or no ( i am reading the ABC of real estate investment from the rich dad series).
Right now i have many questions but one step at a time.
my next step is to get pre-approval by a bank and see for how much i can qualify for. Having some questions here if i should go with chase or HSBC ( whihc is my present bank for my co-op home) or if i should go for a local mortage company in the bronx.

Thank,
E
