Hey Jerry, welcome to the world of real estate :) I am a cash buyer myself in Long Island New York.

Intel has just announced a 20+ Billion dollar investment being the largest private sector investment in Ohio's history creating roughly 10,000 jobs.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs. https://www.dispatch.com/story...

The small towns where a small college exists as the largest employer are in big trouble, feel free to PM or Post with the actual town and we can look at the college stats but this doesn’t seem to belong to that high risk category

Hello everyone, I’d like to meet up with investors and exchange ideas in the Long Island area (Nassau county).

For a BRRRR to work in high-priced Long-Island/NYC you are going to need to make significant improvements to boost the value by $100k+ more than your investment to get your cash back out. 

Hey @Duane Ward - I'm not too certain about Long Island, but for neighborhoods in NYC including Rockaway you can learn a lot through the Zoning & Land Use Application website (google Nyc Zola). 

Interest rates don’t affect cash flow THAT much and rising rents are compensating.Cash flow is such a small (definitely not the largest) portion of the ROI and wealth built.Cash is and always has been the icing on the cake.You make more money and build more wealth through appreciation, loan pay down, and tax benefits than you do in cash flow. $200/month cash flow = $2400/yearWhereas$100k house appreciating at 3% = $3000/year+$150/month in loan pay down = $1800/year+ You get to write off most of real estate earnings (depreciation and “repairs” and “capital improvements)..something you don’t get to do with most other investments.There’s many reason REI is King.

I was thinking a 3br ranch on James Island, but we have yet to visit the area.
