I leave it with the seller, but move on. 

Your tenants will either pay market rates or move in with family. 

Rental market in NYC moves pretty quickly and will be hard to coordinate from out of state, unless they're ok with their broker doing virtual face-time tours. 

Analyzing as many deals as possible is the best way to get practice and move toward your first property.

I have decided after the trip that I plan on moving to Austin TX. 

I make a little over 100k a year and have 50k currently ready for a down payment. any insight would be helpful.Hey Brandon, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

I may even move into my little bungalow eventually when I get off the road working (oil and gas industry ) my W2 job.

On average, 80 people move into Columbus weekly.

I moved here last year and the opportunities have been plentiful.

Your buyer list will always move a lot as there are many investors that do one flip and move out, but you have that a good start joining to Facebook groups, though be careful of the scams around it too.
