Newbie from NY

[Strat V.]

Hello all. I am hoping to network with real estate investors and learn what works in this current market. I have rebooted my real estate investing business and will focus on wholesale and rehab first, then buy and hold rentals. I have joined a local REIA and have been searching online for information and thus came here. I am on facebook and I am trying to learn all the current technology to streamline the business and to get the best ROI for marketing. As part of my marketing strategy, I have invested in two online databases to find motivated sellers and cash buyers, and eventually I will invest in private lender online database. My questions are for investors familiar with these systems, have they helped with streamlining marketing? I am also considering investing with a real estate investor marketer for websites with a proven track record. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Also, I am still searching for both a cpa and a real estate investor attorney familiar with our industry for NEW YORK state. Anybody familiar with NY? Thanks again.
