First, we need to fix up our current home, so in the meantime, I will be on here reading all the blogs and posts, asking questions and learning whatever I can, so we can be as prepared as we can to move forward within the next year.

You are prepared for suit but the ball is in their court.

Eventually people are going to stop moving here because we aren't prepared for this population increase and then we can try to get back to normal.

I'd be happy to have a conversation with you to see whether we'd be a good fit and if so, will be prepared to get to work immediately.

Over the course of these past months I've studied daily in preparation of getting started in real estate by the end of the year and i believe now is the time to start.

We know what's happening in NYC and we are prepared.  

Just be prepared to make the payment even if your TB doesn't pay you.  

That means be prepared for very slim cash flow, keeping money tied up in reserves, and concern yourself less with how much money you can pull back out and look at the actual numbers.

If you don't want to do any work, you can hire a management company (or even a local realtor) to manage the property for you, but be prepared to spend 30-40%.

I'm sorry if these are basic questions; you think you're well prepared and ready to dive in until it's time to dive in!
