That would be the best move for you to find good contractors and reliable ones for your projects.

Long story short, you spend a month cleaning and renovating, then you find a new tenant after just 15 days.In total, you lost three months of rent income ($3,000) plus paying utilities ($500).

However my CPA always seem to find some really good tax write-offs I would miss otherwise, and for my situation.

@Paige Corsello...You could call your bank contacts and find out if they are broker friendly.

Any advice on how to find reliable gap funding sources or make it work within your deal structures would be greatly appreciated!

Then they realize it didn't and they need to find a new way to make money to keep the real estate investing going.  

@Thomas Youngman I am excited to find this thread!

Here, to find properties under market value is seems not possible and, cashflow is very minimal and, I see equity is the quickest way to get out and, invest in another property. 

I want to know how to find group home agencies who are in renting.

Getting that first property is exciting—and yeah, NYC is no joke when it comes to price of entry.Honestly, a lot of people I’ve talked to in your shoes end up finding better opportunities just outside the city.
