Hey there,  Looking to expand my horizon.  

If you have a ton of cash and don't mind speculating on appreciation, you have a lot of options.IMO: NY-metro is getting ready to cool down (a little), so I'd be cautious about jumping in unless I had a long time horizon.

I'd love to chat with you because I know a few people from the area at the point in their lives where homeownership is on their horizon. 

We all know that the real estate market is cyclical and that we have been in a hot sellers market however I’m beginning to notice a few things that may indicate another down turn is in the horizon.

I want to specifically start a discussion on the topic of investing ONLY in D neighborhood quality properties.I have spent a LOT of time here on BP the last 10 days and my horizon has been opened to a lot more possibilities then I ever expected.

You'll have to add that into figuring the three-way split with your brother and boyfriend.Also, any special assessments on the horizon you'll have to pay?

Like many previously prospering PA towns, certain industries have gone the way of the dinosaurs w/ nothing on the horizon to back-fill the vacancy.

I guess it depends on your goals and time horizon and how much leverage you want.

The time horizon allows you some mistakes in your purchase, but if you live in it, you may be more inclined to spend a bit more money.Get an idea from the owner the types of repairs he is willing to do.  

You might have to expand your horizon to secondary markets in the Pacific NW.
