I would suggest you look into some of the local country clubs and join as a "social" member, unless you are into golf then go proprietary . 

hey, new to this site, amazing work you are doing here, every time i step in to ask a question i got ton of valueable responses, really great. i have suggestion i think can benefit everybody, having the ability to "star" a message in the forums.many times i read through the forum finding a really good insightful post, which has many things i would like to keep in mind for the future, i would have been great if it was able to mark/star the post and have a page with links to all the posts i previously starred. something to keep in mind..

I would suggest concentrating on investing first and once you have done a feal deals then work on getting licensed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting you interrupt these people and waste their time with idle chit chat.

Unfortunately, I do not have much to suggest practically because I do not know the market well in Staten Island, but good luck with your efforts!

I haven't used it but there's something called "Pay Near Me"  It lets people pay at a few retail locations.  

"despite what @Thomas S. said you probably cannot just tell the HOA to collect from the tenant"I was not suggesting that the HOA should collect from the tenant.

Good Morning All ☺️ I am interested in investing in subject to deals but not sure where to start, any suggestions?

So I don’t suggest going into business because you like coffee.

Thanks, some great suggestions here.
