I am also from Long Island too. 

After Hurricane Sandy in NY the vast majority of the houses on the South Shore of Long Island were lifted through various government grant programs.

Hi @Erich Oertel,Definitely is based on what your plans are and whether it is land or for purchasing property.

@Robert Silvernagel Just wanted to give you my 2 cents on using your housecleaner as your On Island Agent.

Maybe throwing out a specific post for seeking investment focused brokerages in the Long Island area on BP and see who reaches out as well :). 

I live on Long Island in New York where tenant laws are not favorable for owners and often could encourage squatting.
