I'm almost done closing on a duplex (Long Island, NY) with Section 8 tenants.

@Bruce Lynn Thank you for that information and I have 8 months left on this island and was interested in wholesaling homes here or from japan to the states. if that’s possible.

Born in Brooklyn, grew up on Long Island. 

So honeslty, I wouldn't worry about your concerns.Instead of focusing how you are the same like everyone else, focus on how you are different/better than everyone else.If you need help, get on your knees, sacrifice a virgin goat and I will appear in a smoke of awesomecloud (awesomecloud is a thing btw.. it is a Jerryll in gas form... awesomecloud).Good luck my dude!

For commercial, what cap rates is the island running at?

Although, who knows, Aberdeen is now rated as some wonderful , fast-growing retirement town for Seattle burn outsits a familial property.. was owned by my wifes grand parents my wife is 4th generation from Puget Island..

Before I get into why I'm here, a little background about me: I recently graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in management and a minor in electrical engineering.

As a full-time agent/budding investor, I regularly work with buyers of STRs on Mount Desert Island and the Acadia region, and all the news has been mostly good regarding rates and occupancy levels for this summer and fall.

I come from Long Island and now in South Florida so all just seems intimidating  

However, you can still find multi fam in that price around the island and could potentially do an FHA if you're able to provide evidence that your employer lets you work remotely.
