Yes, I am in a similar position. I don't have the funds, however I am trying to save, and find ways to get to that point. I too haven't been able to locate funding that might help our position, however I have had some responses posting on craiglist for possibly investors, however they have fallen through.

I think this website is a great way to network so we just have to keep it up. I am all for getting to where we really want to be.

I actually have family in Rockville Centre, right above Oceanside, both are fairly nice areas lol. I am located a little more east, my office is located in Massapequa.

My current plan is to continue at my job, and my other part time jobs, and try to be able to get my family out of this apartment complex, and possibly into a duplex, or a property with potential for passive income. The savings from this could hopefully help me save for my next property, whether that be another owner occupied or just a flip property.

However, I would love to know what other options there are in terms of getting there. Unfortunately for myself, I have to keep this job to help pay the bills, much like other people so I can't make drastic moves. I have thought about bird dogging, and trying to push more with being an agent, possibly specializing in investment properties, however I haven't had luck, and as much time as I would like to dedicate to both. I know beginning as an agent is really rough, especially if its a side kind of job.

Besides wholesaling, what are you some goals you want to achieve? Any suggestions or other means of begining that you have though of ? Michael Correale

Hello All!

As I sit home in this blizzard that is occurring in the northeast, after being released from work earlier then usually, I finally have the time to post and read more and more on this site. I pretty much think about real estate investing every day at my 9-5 (7:30-4:45 cough) and know that it is something I not only think I would love doing, but would thrive at. I am currently an estimator for a local glass and metal fabrication company. We work primarily in the city on commercial space.

Are there any investors on BP, particularly on Long Island? I would love to get a sense of the community here on the island, make some connections. I am also a real estate agent, however have not done much work at my new company due to my 9-5 being my main money maker.

I would also love some advice on my plan to get into the field, however I will do that in a different post after searching the forums a bit more!

Thank you, and thank you for helping me see there are others with the same mindset! Would love to hear from some more people who are on here!

Brandon Turner Thanks Brandon, how is it up there.. I always wanted to check out different parts of the country, maybe one day I'll be able to. Your posting about how BiggerPockets saved your life was really something inspiring. lol

Marc Bodinger Some parts of the Island got it really bad, others just had the usual power off for a couple days to weeks. From what I hear, a lot of people seem to be wanting out of there locations that got the brunt of the storm. However, with the damage and the timing Idk how all that is going to go.

Shannon Xerri Yes I'm in the same boat as you. Been trying to learn and take in as much as I can, also in Suffolk. I studied at NYIT.

Hello all,

My name is David Ray. I'm currently an Estimator and a Real Estate Agent on Long Island at EXIT Realty Premier. I studied Architecture in school, and always had a passion for real estate and architecture. I have always had a big interest in real estate investing, development, flipping, and finally I found my way to Bigger Pockets.

Anyone else on Long Island or on the east coast?

Glad to be on board, I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as I am just starting my journey. Excited to finally open all my eyes.

:D
