Hello,

Has anyone had any experience getting a mortgage from a bank with only a 1 year work history? Would an FHA loan be easier to get with such a short work history?

Thank you,

Jordan

@Sahana R.

Thank you for your response, this helps a ton. Congratulations on your new home! What other sights were you regularly looking at besides redfin?

@Christopher Phillips in your experience would you say multi-family is the way to go? I've heard that it can be nearly impossible to have a decent cash flow on single families in this market.

Hello, 

I am just striking the surface of real estate investing and want to start looking at my local market. I've heard of many ways to find real estate agents (from simply googling local ones to referrals from friends and family).  

1) What is the best way to find a decent real estate agent?

2) Will a real estate agent charge me for providing leads on properties that match my criteria?

3) Once I have an agent will I have unlimited access to the MLS?

Thank you!

@Joseph Salegna  - Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it.  I plan on diving into the far reaches of this site to learn as much as possible before deciding what to do.  Thanks again.

Yes I too have realized NY is not exactly the best market to get started in.  I just started a job and so moving is not an option for me either. I am a little nervous about trying to look out of state for an investment (especially my first) because I don't want to get taken advantage of.

Thank you for the warm welcome @Joseph Salegna and @Christopher Phillips!

How has the Long Island market been treating you recently?

Hello BP family,

I am an Environmental Scientist from Long Island, New York. I am about 4 months out of college and quickly realizing that real estate investing is the best way to grow wealth. I am looking to House Hack my way into the game and then use the BRRRR method to start "snowballing".

 Anyone else from New York, or more specifically Long Island? Please comment below and lets make some money!
