However I do come from a family of developers who built home in New Jersey up until the mid 1970s.I have some hands on experience helping my father build add ons to our house (Sugar Run, Pa), renovate our condo (Monmouth Beach, nj), and renovate our rent controlled apartment (Manhattan, NY).

My name is James,  I Live in the upper East side of Manhattan.

Hey every one, so I am currently an extremely ambitious real estate agent looking for a part time job as an agent in manhattan (preferably) or queens.

I own 3 properties in PF and I rent out the rooms.

The manhattan location has the best teachers apparently.

I hope this helps, and I hope to see you at the meeting: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/322232-bronx-manhattan-queens-westchester-mastermind-meetup?

We'll be having a mortgage banker there specifically talking about FHA, VA, and conventional financing. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/322232-bronx-manhattan-queens-westchester-mastermind-meetup

A colleague of mine recommended organized property tours that depart from Manhattan and venture to various towns on day trips showing various properties for sale.

@Eric Schleif You might be seeing 4-4.75% on 8 units in BK, Upper Manhattan and such but that's usually on rent stabilized stuff where a couple of vacancies skyrocket your NOI.
