Hey BP community,I am looking to organize a casual drinks / meetup for folks who live & work in New York City and who invest in real estate part-time.

Welcome to the BP community @Nick Iacobucci Check out Brandon's book on Rental Property Investing , it would be a good resource on it.

Listen what I would do is drive around the neighborhood you can afford around 6pm if the bus stops have lots of people making there way from work there is one money to be made and two a community of decent ppl there I'm not sure if u have children if not living in a bad neighborhood isn't always as bad as it seems besides the money you collect in a year or two may propel you toward your real aspirations faster than not making the move and no matter where you buy your choosing the tenant so set a base line of what you will and won't accept and stick to it people live in Baltimore, New York, New Jersey all places that once where **** holes that have taken some major steps toward change but more importantly they made a big bag of money from those horrible hoods

Just to clarify it is the community owner that controls the quality of sub lease tenants not the home owner.The problem however that you would face is the owner of the homes will actually control your business.

I also have to attend a board meeting where I might get a fine or insist that I evict my tenant because the community has a drug free policy.

I am looking to do the same thing in my area as we have a huge retirement community.

I am new to the forum and just recently started diving into the BP podcast and community.

Trust deed states are much safer to loan in than mortgage states. when POL started they were in NJ and FLA two of the toughest states in the country to foreclosure and corral your collateral in.. most investors not knowing what they did not know .. just did not know the dangers of investing in mortgages in those states were... sorry.

I am planning to embark on my real estate journey in Atlanta and discovered this community through a recommendation.
