Just this morning we spoke with a landlord that has a tenant arbitraging his property, and it's doing well enough that he would like a shot at hosting himself.

Brooklyn, Manhattan and Western Queens are good areas for this and townhouses/ small landlords will probably give you the most opportunity. 

I’d like to have someone review the property and help identify specific areas that may need to be brought up to standard before I proceed with landlord registration for the program.Additionally, I’d welcome any advice, suggestions, or insights from those with experience in this process.

Drivable to the Bay Area, much lower property taxes (that DON'T reassess on the sale), much friendlier tenant/landlord laws, strong population and job growth, strong appreciation, and also anchored by the tourism and wealth of Lake Tahoe.

Tenant screening often seems to get overlooked because landlords know the income is automatic, but the problem becomes the repairs and maintenance.
