Justin S. have you ever read Michael Gerber's E-Myth?

So, to be honest, the only way I could see paying double to only gain $400/mo (figure takes into account higher taxes also) would be if it was in a great stable neighborhood where you could also expect some appreciation.

The area is very stable as far as schools, jobs and the economy.

Make sure you check out the various forum sections, blogs, podcasts, e-books, etc...there are a ton of resources right here on Bigger Pockets.

I know with the University, the housing is mostly for students, etc. so it might be a little more stable.

Brad E - J is exactly correct.

Best believe I will not repeat that lesson.I would like to learn more about MLO and acquiring multi-unit blds because my goal is to be financially stable that I wont no longer need a regular job.

I'm sure there are some year-round multi-families there, but I imagine it'd be more stable/comfortable/cheaper to own that kind of property off the cape (?).

My brother and I are planning to go into Real Estate Investment, we are currently reading and studying the following books; Flip by Rick Villani and Clay Davis, Flipping Houses for dummies by Ralph Roberts, The E Myth by Michael Gerber and Launching a Leadership Revolution by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward and How to flip a house in 5 simple steps by Michael LaCava.We understand knowledge is the key to becoming successful real estate investors so any tips or advice, you would like to share with two New Yorkers please feel free.We both look forward to becoming active members of bigger pockets Thank you

My only issue with that, is finding someone stable/sane lol which my area is bad for.
