I was laid off by a big PM company and prior to being hired by that company I had already made it a goal to open my own some day.

In terms of buying vs. selling - it really depends on your situation and what your goals are. 

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

My goal was to just take his month late payments and give him a non-renewal when his lease is up.

My goal is to attract standard medical office tenants who do not require specialized equipment—such as Primary Care Physicians, Urgent Care Clinics, Chiropractors, Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Centers etc

Why don't you share a bit more about where you are in the process, what you know about investing in real estate, what your goals are - short and long-term, and tell us a bit more about why you are asking your question here on BP?

Goal is long term rental buy and hold.

What is a goal you have as you start learning about RE investing?

For a variety of reasons, including keeping this potential project "need-to-know" only right now, I want to get a ballpark estimate with full understanding that the goal posts could move in either direction as the project gets more discrete. 

I've also loved learning about the other 10 markets we operate in.I have two big goals.
