Hi everyone,My name is Amar and I'm super excited about learning more about real estate investment.

I also know that the lower prices to be found in NY have a lot to do with there being older buildings, higher property taxes, tougher neighborhoods, less appreciation, etc. which I know I will need to incorporate into deal analysis accordingly and understand the risk of.Summary: I feel that with having to put 20% down (FHA loan house-hacking is pretty much out of the question in NYC due to the astronomical prices here), buying a property in New York may be more attainable with my current savings and would allow me easier access to visit the property, however I don't think I could afford the quality of property I would like (close-ish to turnkey) in Florida.

Excited to dive into a new market.

Its scary and exciting.

They will be excited to let you know what kind of products they lend with, how aggressive their bank is, etc. 

Or do something a little more creative like using a 203k limited loan to incorporate some of the larger costs (Furnace Mainly) directly into the mortgage vs out of my pocket in the future. 

I still have a lot more knowledge to gather but am excited about the process.

@Nathan Stanley usually it seems to me that people are excited about beginners in this community.

Human beings have short memories and once the pandemic is behind us people (particularly young people) will want the convenience and excitement of big cities.

Exciting to see you all starting/progressing on your investment journey!
