Welcome to the area! 

The cheat sheet/example greatly reduced time.

Hi @Dylan Fraembs, welcome to the community!

As soon as I close on it (next week), I'll list it on Zillow as well.I spoke to a lot of unqualified candidates, but I also spoke to some good ones, and I'd like for them to fill out an application.

I am currently in the bit of a rutt.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a great mindset shift, and The Book on Rental Property Investing is a solid next step! 

That’s fine but how big is the gain?

I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!
