Long Island Newbie looking to meet others to discuss the biz

[Michael Bocian]

Very, very newbie here from Melville, Long Island, NY. Have been interested in real estate income for many years, was just too comfortable in my "jobs." Now in my early 50's (I know I should have started sooner) looking to take this seriously and see where it goes. My father invested 30-40 years ago in a partnership and earns 30-50k per year from 1-2 apartment buildings, completely passive. Sounds interesting to me. Looking to meet others at any stage in their real estate career who do rental properties to better learn the perils of start up through mature business. Area of investment likely not NY at least not Long Island.
