Hey! Have been super interested in the Westchester market, been looking into New Rochelle,Ossining,and Yonkers  would love to be around more like minded investors looking In the same areas!

@Mohammed Rahman Queens and Brooklyn would be the absolute best because I work on the upper east side of Manhattan but I haven't seen any properties there that are affordable and in decent neighborhoods! I will most definitely be reaching out, maybe I'm overlooking something. Thank you! 

@Wale Lawal Thanks! I have Been looking more and have been seeing the more affordable side.

@Austyn Shuman This was Awesome... so much great information here. I am for sure shifting my focus back to looking at properties in Rockland,Orange or Putnam as it seems to be the common census. I will 1000% be reaching out to you, sending you the college request right now so we can stay In touch! Thank you so much!

@Drago Stanimirovic Thank you! I started looking more into Putnam county and I have definitely been seeing deals that are more realistic for me. I will for sure be reaching out if I have any questions, Thanks again!

@Corey Conklin Thank you so much for the kind words. I will do my best to make the most of this journey! Thank you again.

@Bruce Woodruff Haha yeah I probably should have been a little more clear. Im at base pay since I Just started, top pay at this job is at 5 years and we make 100k base pay, there are guys easily clearing 160k due to OT and other extra money functions. we also have a lot of opportunity to move up in position, Supervisors clear 230k like nothing so right now I'm not making much but long term this is one of the best city jobs to work. It also makes going and getting a loan way easier having this job under my belt.

Good Evening @Abel Curiel, I'll for sure dig a bit deeper into Suffolk and Westchester in my mind I did not want to wait that long to save up $50k, but maybe it is the smarter/safer move to be patient so I can have a strong basis for my portfolio. It is so great to hear from someone with a similar start in one of the five boroughs too! Gives me some hope. Thank you!

 yes I definitely see that I'm going to have to make some difficult decisions, just not sure what I'm willing to sacrifice. There are so many different routes to real estate that I can take but I cannot tell which would be the best for me. Thank you for the insight Corey, definitely gave me some things to think about!

Thank you so much Julia! I will keep my eyes open on those counties to see if I can find anything more affordable. But just like you said I think a BRRRR out in Rochester seems very doable so the bulk of my research will definitely be focused there. Thanks again.
