I am looking to purchase more rental properties in the near future.

Hey @Joy Daniels, I read everything I can all the time.I read a few blogs that go over products and some design.

I asked him a lot of questions about the business and as soon as I got home I was doing research and joining RE forums focused on multi family.

About Westchester, NY:- One of the most expensive places in the US, maybe the world- Supply is VERY low- Houses are no less than like $600k-$700k, I'm also getting outbid a lot.- Now Foreclosures may be a good discount but at the same time I already know that there is aLOT more risk to this.I already have a real estate agent, a mortgage broker, and am getting connections to contractors and so forth.My few Questions are:- Do I need a real estate agent in this process for foreclosures?

a lot of it. 

There are some great meet ups in your area I'm sure and a lot of people at those meet ups are more than happy to chat and give ideas and answer questions.

Any recommended reading materials, please.
