 Hi Jermaine. Good luck to you as well!

 Thanks! Nice to meet you.

 I bet. I've only lived here for 4 years and I do regret it, although not entirely (I did meet my fiance here after-all). I'd be interested in learning about your strategy for the NYC market. It seems pretty brutal here.

 Indeed! We love hiking in the mountains and relaxing on the beach. It's the perfect mix, which is another compelling reason for us to migrate to NC. I'd really like to own a property in the city, mountains and beach so we can choose which we want to enjoy for any period of time we want!

Thanks Michael; we will be heading down there at some point.  I actually have a few friends that live in Holly Springs and really like it. Also, I lived in SRQ for a while and still have family there so we go every year. We love the Gulf of Mexico!

I see you have properties in NY (but no investments here, surprise! lol) and NC. I might have to pick your brain some since you seem to be doing what I was considering. It would be great to get started now before we move, but I am concerned about investing at a distance.

Thanks for the tips Paul!

I've been reading up for a few months now so I am definitely clued into taking control of properties via contract. My soon to be wife and I earn a nice living so we will likely focus on equity through capital investment/leverage. I have been hearing quite a bit about the J. Scott flipping book though and it sounds interesting so it's already in the queue after I finish up Ken McElroy's Guide to Real Estate Investing. Now I have the Rewind book too! 

My finance's cousin does college student housing already so I have a mentor should I choose to go that route, but I am leaning towards clientele a little higher up the income/responsibility spectrum, although I haven't ruled it out yet. I would like to springboard to multi-family commercial properties after I get my feet wet on some smaller deals. 

Thanks again,

Chad
