This seems like an ideal situation to sell if we decided to go that route since we're already doing some packing up even if we rent out our house while gone. 

If you decide you'd like to work with an experienced agent in NYC who understand REI and how to analyze deals (brrrr, house hacking, ARV) then please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

I am a new investor as well and decided to get my license to help build capital and get me into real estate full-time sooner than later.

Deciding what to estimate for capex is where I am fairly nervous.

After much thought, I have finally decided to invest in the mainland and was looking for a mentor to help me.

In year 2, NYC decided that the market value is increased from $100,000 to $150,000. 

I knew I wasn't leaving China anytime soon, but seeing the US market continue to increase, my sister and I decided to go for it...stop talking and take action.6 months later, i'm happy to say we are 1 week away from closing on not one, but TWO triplex investment properties. 

I decided to stick with the one that I had and paid the annual fee (rather than monthly fee). 

So if any of you decide to check it out, just drop me a some feedback below. 

That way you are more prepared and can ask better questions, and essentially get more value out of anything should you decide to invest in your education.
