However, I'm looking to change that.Due to my location, I've been following discussions, podcasts, etc. on long-distance investing and am quite excited by the prospect of not being geographically bound to a certain market.

Mike,Do you live in the same state as where the property is located?

There's a ton of appreciation in the home located in the heart of North Beach.

That being said, I've been searching for something that would deliver a similar cash on cash return (not concerned with appreciation as that would just be icing on the cake) located in Suffolk/Nassau.

What David indicated is true where my rentals are located. 

I have 6 lots in the same location so all it takes is for one lot to sell at the price I want and the other 5 will follow. 

I feel like I'm gaining a lot of general investing knowledge through BP, but still struggling to know how to locate and purchase my first deal.It would be great to connect with local people as well as receive any good advice.

We could potentially get a national franchise restaurant or a notable restaurateur looking for a second or third location as a tenant in this space.

@Steve R.Where is the land located? 

Highly desirable location, school district, is a "coveted location" by locals because most of the land is developed and it sits off an extremely accessible roadOur current rent: $2,500 + Utilities (the home could almost certainly rent for $3k).
