Just some food for thought - if you're interested in chatting let me know, I've worked with clients in Westchester at that price point, happy to just point you in the right direction if anything. 

Quote from @Lance McGee: Hey everyone Lance McGee here first time investor looking into the rural areas of central and northern Michigan definitely could use all the guidance I can get my hands on  Hi Lance, I would be happy to chat about your real estate investing goals.

Eric,Great chatting with you on LinkedIn. 

I am from West Michigan as well, feel free to reach out if you would ever like to chat. 

Hi Pro Forum!I'm a rookie investor from NYC who just signed up for Pro membership.I'm looking for someone who can be a study buddy and meet-up info in NYC.A little bit about me:- CPA (not specialized in tax ;p), no pr...

Happy to chat offline, feel free to reach out at the contact info in my signature or even DM me.

It's very costly there so I will be excited to chat about this in the near future. 

I will also disagree with everyone above, you could make both of these strategies hands off, with the right moves.These baby steps during the next year will gain you the confidence and the knowledge, to best utilize that 100k, if that is the best case at that point. and you may be able to stretch that 100k into a few deals, or limitless deals if you have the right pieces to playHappy to chat more and give my guidance!

I hope this information was helpful; if you want to discuss this in more detail, I'm always available to chat. 

Few of them have packed schedules anymore (which tends to be a very common topic of conversation), and most of them are happy to spend as much time chatting as they do working.
