Great resource to have on your team. 

Michelle,In the NYC market, i think our best search resource is Streeteasy, it's the most up to date and provides the most accurate historical sales data. 

Plan you strategy around why you are investing and the time, energy, and resources (human + capital). 

Has anyone invested, and what is your opinion? I was thinking about it to fund larger investments STR's etc...  

Honestly, just networking with high profile people that raise capital for bigger projects is your path of least resistance.

Hey @Alex Jacobs, I'd start by finding a solid investor friendly agent in your local area; definitely meet with a few of them, but ideally you will find someone who has a decent network that can connect you with resources such as a solid lender.

There are also some really great resources for anyone starting out with some local groups such as AZREIA where we have monthly meetings and some great subgroups, including a new investor subgroup. 

There is also a bigger pockets meet up every second Wednesday every month at the Raleigh beer garden. 

i am doing the first steps of bigger pockets, and am a investor looking for opportunities.I have often found these are masked in a problem.

like were they all larger, nicer, bigger heated pools, etc?
