Quote from @Grace Tapfuma: @Benjamin Aaker, who would manage those properties if I am hoping for a more hands off approach? 

From my experience as an investor, I have first hand knowledge in developing scope of work, project management, contractor relations, and property management.As an investor, I am looking to continue to scale my portfolio in both multifamily and single family.

Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in a variety of areas, including tax liens, tax deeds, rental properties, and fix-and-flips.

Random example from this week:Sell at a loss or rent at a lossOn the other hand, if you are willing to put some time in by traveling to the market, spending time getting a network set up, screening dozens or even hundreds of properties, and taking the time to get set up right, you increase your chance of success.  

If you come with cash in hand, almost anybody will partner with you.

I’ve personally gutted and rehabbed three of my own houses, and for the last three years, I’ve been hands-on managing my own rental properties.

So many strategies available to you to start out with, a big part of it depends on if you are looking to be hands on or continuing to pursue other opportunities at the same time. 

Always loved to work with my hands.

You need to have some capital on hand in case anything were to happen.

I actually had come across your post below in the Events forum and thought to myself it would have been nice to attend that to see first hand a local flip and talk shop about the process.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1215682-chec...I am happy to hear that someone with your experience in the region feels that Westchester is a market with some potential.
