Hi! I’m located in NYC but just started investing in rental properties out of state. I’m fairly new to everything and really want to find a network of investors to learn from. Do you have recs for some groups or investor forums? I use bigger bucket for now, which has been helpful, but I feel the need to branch out ASAP. Thank you!

Bigger pockets is my go-to. Podcasts are really good, but check the site to see if there are ny meet-up groups in your area. Join your local REIA group as well. Trends are different from region to region too. Network in these groups as much as possible. So helpful to get advice from mentors with experience to can direct you to good resources.

You mean bigger pockets?

I’ve found some good groups on Facebook. I think it’s best to find people either from the same area as you, or that are investing in the same area as you.

Yep, sorry for the confusion. Thank you!

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.

Need some advice here. Option 1: rent a condo for 2600 a month. Option 2: pay 2600 in mortgage/month, but I can only afford ~5% for the down payment. Is is better to avoid PMI and save for another year or two before purchasing a condo/house? Feel like I can’t justify paying 2600/month in rent if I can afford the mortgage
