Our plan is to start with single family dwellings... our potential markets are basically Wichita, Newton, McPherson, Great Bend, Salina, Hutch, Emporia, Manhattan... that also includes all the small towns that surround these larger cities. 

Oddly enough, in Manhattan north of 86th walking on my way to the Guggeheim Museum, I was nearly mugged by two guys with knives years ago.

For example, I could get a studio apartment condo in Manhattan (with high maintenance, taxes, etc) which would rent out for high $$, or a beautiful pool home in Sarasota or Orlando FL which I could rent out by the week (or, indeed by the month too!).

If you're priced out of your local market (California, Manhattan, etc.) then look remotely.

He lives right here in Manhattan, NYC.

I've found meetups in Manhattan and Long Island, but nothing for Brooklyn as of yet.

I've heard Oak Ridge has started a redevelopment plan for the old WW2 houses built for the Manhattan Project but honestly don't know much about it except for some hersey.

We're currently closing on our first Multifamily property, and will be attending the bigger pockets meet up in Manhattan August 2nd, there's also a local REI meetup in Latham NY at the end of August that you can find on MeetUp.com feel free to get ahold of me sometime to Network.

I currently live in Brooklyn am really new to investing and am wondering whether I should put effort into investing in a small apartment rental in Manhattan.

Hi Cynthia...being that east Flatbush & Brownsville are totally different markets then the area's closer to Manhattan I would go with a local agent from the area. maybe even from canarsie ...the agents from Corcoran or places like parkslope Williamsburg have high end clients and won't have to many people interested in Bville or east Flatbush as those area's are still a little rough..
