To me it’s a challenging game, an intricate puzzle where if you learn how to play you get great results.

Should I re evaluate what strategy I should use and maybe look further out in places such as Rochester and BRRR properties out thereHey @Jared Leggett, I know I'm jumping in here late in the game, and I have to admit that I haven't read all the many comments you've gotten, but I wanted to provide what I imagine and glean is a contrary view.It is easy to dunk on NYC for young investors starting out, but if you are a first time homebuyer you can buy a $1M property with $35k down (+ closing costs which can be avoided with seller's concessions).

I started my domain over 10 years ago when people first started going online trying to buy fixer upper houses.

Without factoring in tax benefits and principal pay down, you're $1800 ahead of the game by house hacking.

I'm pretty new to the game and would love to get some advice from more experienced investors here!

If you choose an online program, ask how much access you have to the coach.

Thank you  My recommendation is to sign up at paperstac, debexpert and some of the online sites that sell loans as well as join some fb groups on note investing as people push loans through there as well.

If there are barriers that limit similar supply and you figure out how to get the housing units online, even better. 

Plus, they handle online rent collection (a necessity if you don't have a property manager!)

The Pacific Northwest is competitive, so leveraging those connections can be a game-changer.Second, when analyzing deals, ensure you’re building a framework to assess not just the property’s performance today but its future potential.
