Hello! 

My price point is $350,000. I like to not go above$350,000. For the condition, I'm not picky, so I don't mind looking at both turnkey properties and a fixer upper.

Hello, I currently live in Brooklyn, New York. I have a husband and 4 kids. My husband and I are looking to purchase our first investment property next year. We want to get into Real Estate Investing starting off with multifamily. We would live in one unit and rent out the other units. We looking for a 2-3 unit property. We're looking to relocate to a different state within the next 6-8 months. Does anyone have any recommendations on what state would be best to purchase a multifamily unit? We're currently looking into North Carolina and Georgia.

@Charles Walker

Thank You for that information. I never thought about reaching out to the Real Estate agent. I thought it had to be through the owner itself. When I was searching on zillow, I was strictly looking for "by owner" "distressed", etc. Thank you again!

@Charles Walker

How did you go about searching on Zillow? I've been searching but of course I'm still looking for the "right" market. I'm currently in New York, NY so I was thinking I'm better off with  virtual wholesale, but now I'm stuck on what market to look into and how to go about searching in the market.

Good Afternoon, I'm looking to Wholesale in New York. Does anyone have any experience at wholesaling in New York? Specifically what area? I currently live in Brooklyn, New York. Also are there any interested investors?

@Jimmy Lieu I am interested in exploring the market opportunities in Columbus, Ohio. I have heard many positive reviews of this market and would like to take a deeper look into what it has to offer. I believe there are great potentials for growth within this area and would love to weigh out my options before making any decisions or investments.

Quote from @Caleb Brown:

The good part about investing where you are is the massive upswings of appreciation. I'd try that first before going to another state. The best way to get in is house hacking a 2-4 unit and utilizing FHA(3.5% down). The prices there are expensive and it is competitive. If you do look OOS you'll have to at least put 20-25% down for MF(unless you move to the state and house hack). There are many markets, Midwest is the popular trend. Happy to chat on KC, it's a great Midwest market

I would love to chat more about KC. Midwest has been at the top of my list.

Quote from @Jimmy Bostic:

@Dana Hagans I think that house hacking is a great entry point for REI. But to house hack by definition is to live in the home, which is a bit confusing since you said you don't want to invest in New York, yet you live there. So perhaps you plan on moving?

If not, you can use a different strategy for oos investing. If you wanted to invest oos, or even move, the midwest has good markets. Ohio, particularly Columbus, has a good multifamily market. 


 Yes I do plan on moving. Pardon me for not mentioning that part.

Living in Brooklyn, New York has been an amazing experience for me. I enjoy the diverse culture and being able to take advantage of all the city offers. Although I am not looking to invest into real estate in New York, if anyone can share their personal experiences on how they have successfully invested into a triplex or other multi-family properties that would definitely change my mind. Overall living in Brooklyn has been great and although it may seem daunting at times, investing into real estate here when done right could provide huge returns down the line which makes it worth considering despite any initial hesitations one might have about doing so!

I am particularly interested in house hacking as a way to get started with real estate investing and would love any recommendations on areas that are good for multifamily investments. It is important for me to find an area where there is potential growth so that I can maximize my return on investment but also be able to maintain reasonable rental prices due its location near amenities such as public transportation, restaurants, parks, etc. Would anyone have any recommendations on areas out of state that's good for multifamily?
