We haven't tried posting on Reddit, tbh we weren't aware you could utilize Reddit like that, but we will definitely try that.

Quote from @Eric Hrlbock: Hi NoahI’m ericIf you still have friends and family in po We have rentals and do flips in po , wapp ect I also host a networking in real estate meet up for last 4 maybe 5 years We’re not nyc but market is still hot up here I still come to Poughkeepsie a lot so I would definitely be interested in attending a meetup there!

You definitely want to work with an agent who knows his areas and way around town.

@George Munoz if you are wholesaling or flipping homes, you should definitely join Collective Genius (CG).CG is solid, message me for a contact person if you are interested.I buy large apartment buildings and when I was a member of CG, there was a small group who played in the multi, storage and syndication space so it wasn't a fit for me long term.Last deal I bought was a 1,000 unit apartment complex.

For buy and hold, I would definitely recommend The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller and The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner

Long story short - what are viable paths here without the city saying "you need to bring your porch up to code" to do this?

If a town has over a hundred thousand folks, you're on the right path.

I will definitely start looking more into them and thank you for taking the time out your day to reply!

It is hard to find the right one that are willing to guide to the path because without it, can lead you to a big hole.

I would definitely keep the five year resident.
