Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller2.

@Zachary Elliott @Gary L WallmanThe late-fees rule does give me pause, since I am typically looking to make a big incentive to pay on time.

@Gary L Wallman This is normal wear and tear with the exception of a broken door.

You need to get in the dirt, roll up the sleeves, and do whatever it takes to learn, like Gary Vee says in all his YT videos.

As eluded to by Craig, property taxes differ greatly from Queens to Nassau to Suffolk.A great book to check out is the Millionaire Real Estate investor by Gary Keller.

I had "Shift" by Gary Keller on my reading list for the beginning of the year(I had no idea Covid-19 was coming but the market was over due for a shift and I wanted to read the book before I was in the middle of it) and cutting costs that don't drive revenue was a point that Gary drives home hard in the book.  

Books on biz and real estate that I have really like:The Book on Managing Rental Properties - BiggerPocketsABCs of Real Estate InvestingStart With Why - Simon SinekTax Free Wealth - Tom WheelrightThe E-Myth - Michael GerberCurrently reading: Extreme Ownership - Jocko WillinkOn Deck: Gary Keller's The One ThingThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - CoveyDon't recommend: The Oz Principle.

(I do both property management and real estate sales)  Profit margins and not just what I see but what is posted by other companies, coaches,  Gary Keller in his millionaire real estate agent book etc are higher for real estate than property management. 

I use Jared Gary with Assurance Financial out of Baton Rouge.

Some other great intro investing reads would be Ken McElroy's ABCs of Real Estate Investing and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.
