Saw you were looking into real estate investing events in the Poconos?

The admin of that group is part of an REIA in the Poconos and host the meetup events.

@Angel Latimer HiAngel just joined this group on Facebook. Saw that they usually have meetups. I haven’t been to one.

@George W. Thank you George, We are leaning more towards Jersey. Further south but close to public transportation. Been looking into which towns may work out better. We’ve compiled a list but now doing research to test out which one will work out better. As of right now the overall list consist of the below.

Bergen - Lafayette

North Bergen

Union City

Montclair

Bayonne, NJ

Elizabeth

Dover

Greenville

Hudson County

Trying to dwindle this down to at least 4 or 5 that I would dig deeper into?

@Abel Curiel Thank you so much for the advice Abel. We will begin looking and talking to Lenders as you suggested. I will provide my updates here as I learn more.

Hi 

I am a new investor to be. My husband and I are planning to hopefully close on a Multifamily home in the outskirts of NYC or in New Jersey in 2021 (whichever makes more sense economically). We are targeting deals that will qualify for a 203k FHA loan and will also be house hacking in the property for the first 2-3 years. We then plan to move out and do the process all over again. We are planning to get pre-qualified early in 2020.

Any advice would be appreciated. I would also like to start connecting with anyone who is willing to help us along in this journey (Real Estate Agents, Property Managers, Contractors, etc)

Please be kind and thank you in advance.

Congratulations Marilin,

I am excited about this step you are taking in your journey. I am also a resident in NYC and looking to invest in a triplex in 2021 (looking at NJ).  So  I would love to follow your journey as you dive into real estate investing and looking forward to your future post.

Good Luck!!

@Mark Lira

I don’t think that is a precedent you want to start with our tenants.

The reward they get for paying on time is not getting evicted and not having to pay a late fee.

Interesting thought tho...

Thank you for sharing this Anthony White. It is truly inspirational and pushes me to keep going on this journey.
