I am merely just testing the waters to see where everyone is investing. This can be past investment locations, current locations, or even future locations that yiu are persuing. I am currently looking at Clevenland, OH as well as Montgomery, AL and Buffalo, NY. Also any additional information of why you are interested in a certian location would be much appreciated.

I am new to real estate investing and I do not know where to start. To clarify, I am looking to be a long distance investor. Given this I know I will need a property managner/property management firm at some point. Do I start there? Do I start by contacting a real estate agent? Should I already have a property manager on stand by once I find a market that works for me? Any advice on what your first were when investing would be much appreciated.

A thought would maybe be to sell the property to a significant other or family member as a multi-family and then jointly run the property. I am not sure if this would be allowed as you stated it was originally built as a single family, but if it is sold as a "duplex" it now might be considered a multi family after the sale. I would suggest talking to someone who has more experience in real estate law to confirm this theory.

Hi everyone! My name is Zach and I am senior at Bucknell University and graduating this spring. Post graduation I will be working at a civil engineering firm in New York City, but aside from engineering I asprie to start investing in real estate as a form of passive income. Eventually, I would like to grow my portfolio into a full time gig. As I am young with not a lot of capital to my name, I would love some suggestions on edjucational materials to allow me to get a head of the eight ball before I start aquiring properties. Thanks and I cant wait to be part of this community!
