As someone new to NYC, I'd appreciate insights on:The current state of the UES market in this price rangeWhether buying makes financial sense for a 3-year timeline versus rentingThe pros and cons of co-ops versus condos in the neighborhoodI'm particularly interested in hearing from those with experience in the area, as I'm looking to make an informed decision.

As a powerful organization, I would like to see Bigger Pockets become a leader in not simply educating real estate investors but leading the way in warning investors about the real estate guru pitfalls.  

I want to ensure I’m doing this the right way while keeping my finances organized and compliant with any regulations.

What you need to learn in your 20s is how professional business works, how to manage people and projects, how to run an organization and how to sell ideas and concepts.

They put on a good show, but don't buy in.

So this is some kind of communal organization - there is a "mentor" at the top, and a bunch of "mentees" who do work for each other/for the mentor.Hopefully the asset is all in your name and your name only. 

Don't buy anymore land courses and just take MASSIVE ACTION.

My wife and I have been buying rental properties for 20 years.
