I am looking for foreclosed properties, short sales, single family, and multifamily homes anywhere in NYC besides Staten Island.

I'm planning on hosting a few meetups here like I did on Long Island in Suffolk County. 

I am looking to buy a condo in St Simons, GA.  Does anyone on the forum have experience with this market?

I'm in a beach house on Sanibel Island at the moment and even though this is steamy Southwest Fl there is no fan.  

Glad to hear everything worked outI see you're in the Long Island area, if you'd like to join a meeting of our Real Estate Investor group we meet monthly, I list the events on Bigger Pockets in the Classifieds/Events & Happenings sectionOur next:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/...It's very informal, open discussion (but you're under no obligation to share anything if don't want to), all aspects of real estate 

The defense of the 2% rule is that it is a rule of thumb which allows you to reject a property that doesn't measure up based on the numbers.When you're looking at a fix and flip, the rent is not a prime consideration, many times the property is vacant and often uninhabitable. 

Hi there,My names Joshua Costa, I'm 24,I live in Rhode Island on the Massachusetts line.  

@Ben Leybovich Long Island is also pretty landlord unfriendly.

My real estate agent spoke to a lender about this house and the lender said that if it's uninhabitable (which I don't think it is per the definition) or if the appraisal comes back lower than the asking price (asking price is half of the value of the home if it were fixed) that I would not be able to get a loan from a normal lender.

I only work with properties on the Big Island.
