Hi BiggerPockets Family,

I’m trying to start my real estate investment journey through the purchase of my primary residence, with the intention of selling it in less than 5 years. I was open to condos and co-ops but after more research am stuck. 
Are co-ops even technically an investment (considering you don’t own the actual space)? Should only look at condos if I really want a taste for the investment world? (Late this year/ early next I want to start building a portfolio of out of state, long term rental properties). Can anyone share their thoughts? 

(Where I live/ work, I can only afford an apartment so don’t have the opportunity to house hack with a multi family)

Thanks in advance! 
Jackie 

Hi All,

Happy new year! I’m a newbie here, so new I’ve only read a few books but have committed this is the year I put it all to action. The city I’m looking at has a lot of new developments. So my question is- how do you determine if new developments will bring more demand or just end in a surplus of supply? Thinking population growth might be a good indicator but not sure that’s the correct / only measure. If it helps, looking at White Plains, NY. Appreciate any thoughts!

Thanks,

Jackie

Hi BiggerPocket’ers,

My name is Jackie and I’m brand new to the world of real estate investing! A friend introduced me to the podcast and a few books, which has been eye opening!! I’m hoping to make my first purchase in the next ~6 months so am in my data collection stage. Looking to learn the ropes from folks that have done this one, two or a few times. Please like or comment on this message if you have some time to spare. Really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Jackie
