Many OOS investors learn what it's like to delegate and can focus on being an investor, but I would say if you are financially able to invest in NY then do that, try to house hack, learn your market, learn how to manage yourself, and network with the investors in your area.If you cannot find a way to purchase a property where you live and you want to start now, find a good real estate agent in a market where there are plenty of cash flowing opportunities that won't break the bank for you.

My current tenant for a small restaurant wants to break the lease and leave.
