Yes, we sell plenty of homes on Staten Island. Like with anywhere else: location, pricing and the overall house you intend to build will play a factor in your profits. I’m currently in the middle of a new construction deal, and have an investor that flips plenty of properties- just closed on 2 of his and we have quite a few more coming. 

Do you have the lot in mind already?

It's that time again- another Ready For Launch investors meetup!

We have a lot of flips currently going on with some of our investors, so we decided this meetups topic will be all about flipping! We also break down properties both on and off market!

Come and join myself, my Broker, our Panel (all RE related professionals!) and fellow active/aspiring investors for a full clinic on flipping houses. Please RSVP on the link provided. Light refreshments will be served!

Hey! I have investors that do this exact thing but in Staten Island- the section 8/citypheps payouts are unreal. Around $2600/month for a studio or one bedroom. 

Inventory dried up a little bit because everyone’s been scooping them up, but a deal hits every once in awhile. 

PA has great markets that are very close to us. On the surface it looks like it can work, again people are doing the very same thing right here and cash flowing pretty well. I always felt as if there was something I didn’t catch…but just one of my investors are on property number 4 like this now. 

Good luck! If you ever want to talk further, reach out!

Come join us for our next Ready For Launch meetup! This is the only bi-monthly meetup on Staten Island for both aspiring and active RE investors. Our last meetup had ~30 people and went on for 3 hours!

We will network and learn. This months topic is "Mastering the 203(k) Loan", and our Mortgage Broker on hand will show us some pretty cool use cases for it that can have you going up against cash investors on foreclosures and more. 

Benefits of Ready For Launch

-The Panel: a group of RE related professionals (attorney, home inspector, mortgage broker, expeditor, etc) that are at your disposal from the first time you come!

-Property Deep Dives: we hand out materials to every attendee including a few properties that we believe will make a good flip or rental property. We will do some diving into the numbers together

-Networking: you're in a room full of like-minded people with similar goals. We all learn from each other and have connections that may help each other out. Some members are actively interested in jumping into projects together- easier to start your first investment!

-Guide: you will receive a list we've put together of professionals we have at your disposal for your journey. Beyond mortgage brokers and attorneys, we also have electricians, GC's, pool guys, fence guys...we give you everyone you'd need!

*Light refreshments served

*Sign up here (free- always free!) 


See you on April 29th at 6:30PM!
