Newbie from Far Rockaway, NY!

[David F.]

I'm an educator from NYC with a family in tow looking to produce a little extra income (alright, ...maybe a lot extra) during my off time, and I've been browsing around the forums and blogs. It seems that in the city there's not much opportunity for affordable starter investments, I'm wondering is there's anything on Long Island? Is upstate the only answer?

I haven't got experience at all but I'm thinking of looking for a MFR that requires light rehab.

Any ideas of where to start?
