Hi Igor, I'm also 22 and from Long Island!Nobody can tell you what plan is best for you because it all depends on your end game and how you want to get there and what niche you fit most with. But just keep working hard and learning, and as you learn you will have a better idea of how you want to invest

I spend all my time learning about REI at the moment, I want to know how investors who are currently out there spend their time and how much time on each task. How much time do you spend looking for deals, getting funding, managing properties, erc?

Chris Grenzig Thanks! I'll definitely be reaching out

Hey Danelson! Thanks for welcoming me! I'm mostly interested in the suburbs of NYC right now. I hope to eventually make my way to the outer boroughs then manhattan. I know so much about the neighborhoods throughout manhattan, queens and Brooklyn because I am constantly traveling and interacting with people in all different areas because of my job. One night I'll be in a park ave penthouse apartment in the Upper East Side overlooking Central Park, the next I'll be in the projects in Crown Heights, BK. DM me if you have any questions of want to continue the dialogue!

Hello everyone! I'm 22 years old from Long Island. I work in New York City as a Paramedic as I finish my degree in Health Science at Stony Brook University. I've always been looking for that other way to build wealth besides my career. I began listening to a few REI podcasts including the one from BP. That led to reading books and articles from other investors. I've been talking to friends of the family who own multiple houses that are rented out and a family member who is a real estate lawyer. I am in no way done learning about RE but I finally found a way to build wealth that I have a genuine interest in. Right now I'm saving to start out with a house hack, and should be in a position to buy within the year. I'm excited that I've found BP and a community of people that have a passion for sharing their success and knowledge. I come from a working class town and family, any excitement about REI is met with double the negative input from most the people I'm surrounded by. I LUCKILY have two friends who work in finance who share my interest that keep me from being discouraged. So thanks, because if it wasn't for all of the interactions that I've seen in this forum so far I very well could have dropped the REI plan a long time ago.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to start out my investing with purchasing multifamily home that I can use to jumpstart into BRRRR. Is there any specifics about LI/NYC I should know before starting? Or if anybody has advice/referrals/etc for me as I begin my journey. Feel free to comment or DM, Thank you!
