Hey all! Sending this post out there in the hopes of finding other young newbie investors looking to connect and just bounce ideas off one another. If anyone knows of a group or forum that already exists with this purpose please let me know! Otherwise, please feel free to respond to me below and we can get to know each other.

My name is Pat and I currently reside in Long Island, New York. I am in grad school and hope to begin making offers on properties beginning in 2022. I am still in the education stage of my real estate journey and am trying to decide what my investing strategy will be (primarily trying to pick between remote or in NY). If you are in a similar position as me, let's connect and see how we can help one another. 

Thanks for the responses!

Hey all! First time posting here and just starting to get interested in Real Estate. 

A big question I've been kicking around in my head as I think about to begin investing in real estate is how to handle living in NYC? I am currently a 22-year old grad student living on Long Island and plan on moving into an apartment in May 2022 when I begin my full-time job. I have always wanted to live in NYC and my job is located there, so I don't see those plans changing. I would imagine that the NY metro area is an extremely difficult place to begin investing in real estate, so I was wondering what options I should consider for my first property. 

Should I be looking at investing remotely in markets around the country? 

Is the best option to change plans and try house-hacking somewhere that is a commute away from NYC?

Any tips, stories, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
