I'm glad I bought low (my only option at the time) and gradually added value with upgrades Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Seek out local real estate groups to get an idea and network around local regulations.

It's not RTR's fault the property can't absorb proper cap ex, that's a product of the market.

I told them that I work with real estate investors that would be able to help them and put some money in their pocket to help them with their crushing debt and bills so they wont go into foreclosure on both houses How did you finance this deal?

By marketing properties to insurance and corporate housing partners for mid-term rentals, you can earn 2-3x long-term rent, reduce turnovers, and minimize wear on the property, providing steady income.

I will be in need of a real estate attorney to review the terms to make sure I am protected.

It may some disgruntled students who joined, but realized real estate was not for them, and sued to get their money back. 

If you move title to the property into a trust for the seller's "Estate Planning purposes", you still need the mortgage company's approval. 

I’m a new real estate investor based in Queens, eager to dive into the industry and make my first deal this year to build my portfolio.
