Hey BP Family, just looking for suggestions, me and my brother own a two family in South Jamaica queens NY. we have a total of 7 rooms we rent as Single Room occupancy. So far me and my brother are there every two weeks collecting cash rent payment. just looking to see what are the resources other landlords using to collect rent payments. chase quick pay?

thanks    

Aww man I missed the webinar :( funny thing I randomly thought about that idea few months ago, doing a daily analysis in variety of properties for set amount of time. Just to get mentally comfortable with running numbers often

@George Changwelcome to BP, I own a two family house in South Jamaica queens, close by York College. Yes, queens real estate is getting expensive more-so now people are getting priced out of brooklyn real estate and a combination of low inventory. 

But so far my property is just barely at the 1% rule. So at some point when the neigborhood starts to change around hopefully the rent should increase right along with it. 

@Dev Whylooks like Norwich mightbe a 30-45 minute drive from Syracuse NY. There are defiantly Active REIAs and BP memeber in that area. 

Hope that helps.

@Aundre Oldacre Welcme to Bigger Pockets! It's amazing how Brooklyn have had such a price boom in property value in the past 10 years. Even certain parts of Queens is now starting to experience the same.

@Ana G. Wow Ana Great Job!! And even better job with the follow-up post ! I think it was a good move not doing the deal with the gentlemen that has cancer, to help him get top dollar for his property. It's just good practice and karma!

Also you should think about getting your real estate license to convert some of your leads that doesn't want to sell at a discount, by doing so you can at least list there property on the MLS and get a commission when/if there property is sold (there maybe some disclosure needed if you go that route) just a thought :)

Lastly, Joe McCall has a descent podcast on lease options and creative financing for wholesale deal, I found it very informative.

Keep up the awesome work!!

Just take sometime to educate yourself, to figure out what path best suits you, tons of FREE resources here on bigger pockets, join and network with local investors, figure out where you are financially. Just those few steps should keep you busy,

@J. Martin Great insight! I will defiantly be taking your advice! And congrats all around.....
