Newbie in NYC looking for other markets

[Douglas Stewart]

Hi All- my name is Doug Stewart and I live in NYC.  I am from Malibu, CA and I bought a rental condo there before I moved five years ago, knowing it would be difficult to buy rentals that cash flow in NYC.  

I started listening to the Bigger Pocket podcast a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.  It has inspired me to invest in more real estate and take better control of my finances overall.  

Though I have a full time job as a tennis coach, I am looking to buy and hold rentals in another market, which is why I am currently reading David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing".  Looking forward to meeting people on the same journey as I am!
