@David T. I would love to discuss further with you about partnerships if you're available.

Daniel Hason hey thanks I'm going to try to see if I can make it!

@Lesley Resnick Thanks for the feedback I was wondering if I'd be successful in sought of turning the agent for others part off and on. With research and what you saying confirming it I don't think that will be the best use of my time.

Hi I was speaking about investing in real estate to a friend and they asked if I would consider becoming a licensed agent. Up until that point I was only planning to invest in buy and hold rental properties. However, lately I've been thinking more and more about it and so I'm coming here for some feedback. I do work a full time job that has me away from home for about 2-3 months at a time and then I'm home again for 30-45 days at a time. Would becoming an agent with this type of schedule be wise?

Hi what's the date and time for this?

@Thomas S. how do you rent a water heater? Can you elaborate more on your experience.

This sounds great please count me in and let me know if I can help with organizing anything!

Obreight Ingram Hi congrats for making the move and coming on to BP! I've been looking throughout Westchester. I would recommend staying near the metro north line as that usually draws professionals commuting to the city for work. Mount Vernon taxes are significantly higher than Yonkers but apparently can be grieved. The Bronx prices are ridiculous to me at least as I grew up there and know what some of these houses should really be going for. I think you'd definitely get more house for your buck in Westchester. Yonkers is dicey because after the Park Hill section is very low incomey. Mt. Vernon is the same way, South side is low income. It's all changing due to gentrification just don't know how lo you'd like to wait for it. Also I'd recommend using the Yonkers mount Vernon local newspaper there's a lot of pertinent information in there as to which neighborhoods are getting improved on.

Michael M. This is exactly what I want to do in the future. Please keep us posted on how it goes for you!

@Isiah Ferguson,thank you I'm from the Bronx right there on the borderline of Mt. Vernon and it's amazing how much it's changing and just how quickly! @Ceaser Rosas, yeah tell me about it! The beauty about this house it's already is converted into a two family just a permit was never put in for it. Most of the money for Reno are for the overall house. That's interesting about the oil tank conversion, I will keep that in mind. Yes I did get that $500 credit! In regards to finding a better property for a little more money, has been an interesting struggle. My agent and I did but the houses we did put offers in on and I'd be one of the top offers but just not the chosen one. Some of the reasons that I was told was attributed to me going with a fha and not a conventional loan. I did speak with my lender about repackaging my loan after the first year so that my rate can go down. @RayLai this is an area that is being gentrified. I think I was asking off of the old neighborhood and not more so what the new is. . Again thanks for the advice everyone.
