What you said makes sense. Now I understand. You have put all I have been learning as a beginner into perspective. Thanks Mohammed.

Thanks Suzanne for letting me know. I also live in Nassau County. I hope I can make it.

This is such a great word of wisdom.

Quote from @Joe Villeneuve:

Your solution is what you said you "definitely don't want to do".  Why?  You don't lose your equity if sell,...you just move it to a Market/State where it is more favorable to be a landlord.

REI is a business. Like any and every other business, if your clients (tenants in this case) don't pay their bills, you stop selling your product/service to them. If the product/service that is your business isn't making you money, you either get out of that business, change your market and/or product/service, or go bankrupt.

You have the same three choices here.  Thus far, your choice has been the 4th one...none of the above.

I live in Nassau County, Long Island but feel that as a new investor, properties here are very expensive. I also don't see people mentioning Long Island as a good place to find deals.  I have been trying to joggle numbers using the 2% and 50% rules but they seem not profitable. I would appreciate any thoughts on investing in downstate New York as a whole especially for short and long term rentals.

This is good to know because I am a new investor, looking to start.
