@Raul R. Thanks so much for your advice! I am most drawn to the lease option and "subject to" as these seem the hold the least amount of risks but in my current situation - with little money and little experience I am not sure which type of investing is best. In terms of finding a market -- PA and NJ are the only markets that I have found that are close enough for me to drive too and not as expensive as NY. Do you know anything about PA or NJ markets and how much I will need in reserves? Anything helps, thanks again!

I am very new to real estate investing. I live in Brooklyn, NY. I would like to invest out of state because I was told that NY is very expensive for a young recent college grad starting out. I am really excited to start investing as soon as I can without making too many mistakes. I have listened to a few podcasts and webinars and I will soon start reading books. I would like to attend a local group or shadow a mentor if possible -- one who also lives in NY and invests out of state. I am very willing to put in ALL of the hard work and learn by any means necessary. I do not plan on giving up! I am currently working on building my credit and saving $3,000 or more. Any guidance or help is greatly appreciated also any book recommendations or recommendations in general. Thank you!

Hi Jen,

I am looking into joining his team as well. Have you gathered any additional information since this post?
