Advice on NYC rental markets in Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island

[Jon Pflueger]

I am a student in NYC, and have been working towards starting a wholesale company in the city, mainly focusing on servicing residential properties in Queens, BK, and LI. I was wondering if there were any seasoned NY wholesalers who have advice on where to find the most accurate and up to date market data, as well as successful strats to find 'motivated' sellers. I was also considering broadening my search to North Jersey, but I am unsure if I will need to change my contracts and tailor them to each set of state laws. Any advise is appreciated.
