But then it got extremely old and the environment felt incredibly cold.Gray makes everything feel too dark and it doesn't invite people when they are looking for a place to live. 

I currently manage several properties and own a restaurant, which has been an incredible journey in itself.I'm relatively new to property management and real estate investing, and I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and network with like-minded individuals.

They are never the cheapest, but if you hire the cheapest you get to follow them around and add a job of micromanaging to your list of daily activities.CEO's of multi million dollar companies golf 3 times a week, shop for cars mid day, get suits tailored, hop a jet to fly fish, have perfect haircuts every week, volunteer at a shelter passing out food, get photo ops and make company motivational videos.

Motivated buyers driving the area usually see the open sign and try to get in before the Open.

But man, getting that first sale was incredibly difficult.

People enticed to BUY, motivates people to SELL, to facilitate there BUY's. 

That's so incredibly helpful.

I enjoyed that mine was a one man band, and it was smooth and efficient, handled by email and short hand dialogue and simple resolutions.My eviction filings, so far have been "light weight," mostly gets people motivated to pay and stay.I spoke to a couple of firms, but they make it sound much more complicated and ugly than it has been in my case, so they aren't resonating with me.

Let's collaborate and make the most of NYC's incredible real estate opportunities!

Like @Sarah Kensinger said, I would surround yourself with like-minded people that have had success in the real estate industry to motivate you and teach you things you may not know!
