Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.

Practice analyzing deals, explore surrounding markets if NYC feels too competitive, and stay persistent, closing your first deal takes time but is well worth the effort.Good luck!
