Our cold call turned into an hour long conversation of just getting to know each other etc.

You might be able to get some random Edison technician to say, "Well, I guess it would be okay," after eyeballing it, but that's no guarantee that after you buy the property, Edison or Long Beach or someone comes along and says you can't. 

You posted basically the same question in the same forum 2 hours before this so I would delete one so you get better answers.How long have you been sourcing properties?

I think evolve is another one but I think it's more geared towards Airbnbs vs long term rentals.Thanks!

New York City is an excellent market to invest in - but you need to manage your risks accordingly and have a long-term focus. 

So, here at the 6 month check in, here are the things I've been doing since January 2024: *Anchored everything to my WHY, including the motivations and long-term strategy *Joined a local REI group hosted by my church*Researched tax lien investing in Harford County, MD and decided to not play in that space this year*Read a few REI books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, One Rental At A Time, Building Wealth One House at a Time, Wealth Without Cash, Building Real Estate Wealth in a Changing Market)*Subscribed to a bunch of good YouTube channels (BP, ORAAT, Ken McElroy, Coach Carson...)

Hey Emily, I think it is worth it if it is expected to cash flow some in the long term.

I think finding like-minded investors that have nothing to sell will be more beneficial in long run.
