Hey Charles, I’m in the same boat on SI (not a ferry pun) and I’ve gone back and forth on this so many times, but I’ve come to the conclusion that it makes zero sense to buy on SI or in NYC unless you plan to personally live in the property for more than 5 years.

Whether you decide to buy in CA or OOS,  Im a strong believer that you got to know the market your investing in.My wife and I were in the same boat over 16yrs ago.  

Figure that many self employed investors are in the same boat. 

Hey I'm in the same boat and live just south of Denton, there is a meet up in Denton I went to 2 months ago and enjoyed. 

That's great first-hand insight, I'm sure if others are in the same boat as me and are reading this, they can learn a great deal from your experience.

I'm in a similar boat and Bigger Pockets has been a great source of information and help in general.

I am in the same boat myself haha.

I am in the same boat as you as I am trying to figure out which area I can ‘roll’ my CA investment properties.

@John Christodoulakis just about any type of work you can just post on your local area fb marketplace or the different buy, sell, trade pages asking for bids on stuff like that and I'm sure you'll get a boat load of interested people.

What's the point of meeting a person in the same boat as you?
