I have been to the 3-day and it is a well run event, by professional persons. 

American Banks (like BofA and Wells) actually did lend in CR pre-2008 but that possibility disappeared after the crash.

My fellow agent Jennifer Flynn is great in handling rental properties...she can get you tenants and manage your monthly activities well.

Rents continue to climb as well but likely not enough to keep up with increasing monthly mortgage payments when considering interest rates and soaring property values.There are 2 main schools of thought when considering investing in an expensive market like Long Island.- Robert Kiyosaki, Grant Cardone, and similar thinkers believe its best to invest in markets with higher cashflow while renting where you want to live.

I have a complex next to mine that has over a hundred units, some do very well some dont and you can point to their decor right away as a differentiator.

Your strong foundation in the stock market and tech background positions you well for success in real estate investing.

My current internship in Dallas is going very well, and I expect to be back in the city full time in the summer of 2026.

Reducing risk requires at least some time spent in research and involvement in a deal.There are many other things you learn along the way as well. 

My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects. 

It's that simple.Doesn't hurt to have real hardwood floors and A/C as well.
