First Rental Investment Property- MA,NY,CT

[Alex Mason]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community, I wanted to reach out to see if you guys can help my partner and I narrow our search for the location of our first investment property.  We are both in our late 20s with no real estate experience but see the potential for real estate as a long team investment towards financial freedom and are ready to enter and succeed in the world of real estate.  After reading Brandon's book, along with a couple others and watching some videos on the topic we believe we have all the knowledge needed to start in real estate and are ready to buy our first property.

My partner and I are looking in either MA, NY or CT.  We are interested mainly in multi-family, cashflow properties but would like a little appreciation potential as well.  A property in the 250-300k range is about our max but would prefer to purchase two separate properties most likely.  We have a couple specific cities in mind but want to reach out to the community to see if you have any specific cities in any of those states.  We also need to build our team in one of those states so any recommendations for either would be much appreciated! 

Thanks in advance,

Alex
