Hey what's up Omar, we can definitely connect on the RE investing. I'm starting out as a wholesaler but I'm open to other ways of investing as well.

Hi Ikean Lucas and welcome to BP. Just curious if properties can ever cash flow in your area of the Bronx? I know your new to the business but let me know if there's any chance of the 1% rule working in the Bronx. In case your not sure about the 1% rule, it means that the monthly rent is at least 1% of the purchase price.

 Hey I really don't know but I do believe every investor is lenient on the 1% rule in the NYC area. Without it many won't purchase that property because it's a waste of an investment. From my research many are reaching more on the return higher than 1% of the purchase price.
