I believe I will put 1 mil in diversified well established market funds,that beat s&p year and year out (The next time covey 19's second wave decimates the stock market I jump in close to that bottom). Invested properly I believe I could get up to a 15% return annually pay my taxes and have 10% every year for life. However that would be boring!

But when I found the optimal real estate deals deal or deals, I would pull the funds from the stock market. I invest in large apartment complexes in the best cash flow markets in the US. Diversified in a few different states to cushion any single natural disaster (fully insure) or unforeseen acts of God..

Nahh I'm playing, who am I kidding I'd invest in myself and expand my local NYC area holdings with creative real estate, with as little down in each deal as possible, into a smartly brick by brick built residential real estate empire!!!

Hey what's up Eli, I saw your post I was born in Brooklyn but grew up, Middle School and high school, in Poughkeepsie NY. 

for that matter why we're on the record. There are lots of changes  in Upstate New York like casinos, growth, & Metro-North stops several of which I believe will help push up appreciation within walking distance of some stations

However, I no longer reside there I now live in North Jersey, Essex County & wide surrounding areas. Where about you from up state New York? What's your take on what real estate investment looks like in your area currently? in the near future? Let us all know it's about the help somebody and (that's what we're here for help and to learn it) BP is a great resource for too many things to name now in R.E. investing.

North Jersey I believe (I believe there are many reasons other than this) will continue to increase in value long-term  if only because the proximity to Manhattan's absorbent real estate prices.  Ie a studio apartment in Manhattan can go for over $5,000 the same studio in Newark it is less than 8 miles the kicker is Newark is 8 miles from Manhattan about 15 minutes by rail. I'm saying I believe Newark prices  North Jersey prices I'm saying Newark real estate believe they'll be lots of upside in dozens of areas that's what I'm looking research now, and get a feel for go transitioning neighborhoods for better and worse around key new developments/expansions.

I think you'll be glad you found BP sooner than later. Its a great resource for you and all you're trying to do with ur units. I'm sure you're find in time many people an examples to help you out. Welcome to BigPocks.
