Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for advice as a newbie on what to do with $100K set aside to invest in real estate. What would you do with that money if you were me? A couple of quick things about me for context:

- I'm 30 years old and have paid off all my undergrad and graduate student loan debt. I don't have any other debt.

- My partner and I own our condo in New York. I'm fortunate that he covers the household expenses, so I have minimal expenses.

- I've worked as a corporate attorney for the past four years, but have an interest in doing something entrepreneurial so I would expect my cashflow to decrease in the latter half of the year as I launch my business.

- I've saved ~$125K to provide for at least a year of living expenses and startup costs. This is separate from the $100K I've set aside to invest and separate from my retirement savings. 

- Investing in New York seems prohibitively expensive, so I'm open to investing in other markets.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you very much. 

@Eli Lederman are you looking to invest in NYC or outside?

@Zeke Liston Thank you!

@Jonathan Twombly thanks for reaching out! I will definitely look out for your meetup. 

@David Kelly thanks for these suggestions! I read these last year - it took a bit of courage to finally post on the site. My favorite was Brandon's book!

@Michael Heisterkamp @Tarik Turner Thanks for connecting!

Hi Everyone!

My name is Antonia Hyman and I'm a 28 y/o corporate attorney living in NYC. After grinding it out over the last two years, I'm nearly done paying off my loans from law school and business school. Fortunately, I make a great salary and as a result of living below my means/investing, have some capital to invest. I would like to diversify my income stream through a buy and hold approach, as I don't want to be stuck billing client hours for the rest of my life. To start, I am interested in buying and renting out single family homes and duplexes. 

I came to the community for several reasons: 

- To educate myself on the process and learn the dos and don'ts from experienced investors.

- To get connected to people who invest in the tri-state area. NYC is expensive, so I'm considering other areas on the outskirts to invest. Any advice on figuring out where to start would be especially appreciated.  

- To learn more about the BRRRR process and how to value a deal.

I appreciate any advice and engagement as this is all new for me. Thank you!
