The world is full of landlords looking for a safe and easy (i.e. low but consistent) return on investment. 

I've recently been looking for real estate meet ups in long island but i cant seem to find any. is anyone interested in starting one up?

Long term consistent cash flow.

Does it have to just consist of an actual name ex: (John Doe Realtor) to really put your name out there.

After that, it's just a matter of learning technical details of what type of investing you do and consistently applying that core RD PD principle.

With DM, consistency is key and having a good system in place to keep track of your leads, Podio is a great/free option.

I know I need to stay consistent with mail and door knocking but can anyone recommend what best practices they use for their list?

I'm looking for a CPA to help with our first house hack in NY (long island).

It seems like everyone kind of hammered home the difficulty, or impossibility of finding an asset that consistently grows at least 12% a year.

I will need to take steps to mitigate the temptation to steal.If I wasn't going to Costa Rica, I'd consider setting up in San Pancho, Mexico, a bit north of Puerto Vallarta, a similar vibe, or Koh Samui in Thailand-just beautiful with elephants and waterfalls, or some of the beautiful smaller islands off Bali where one can surf, and live fairly remotely.
