I attended middle school here and spent many years growing up in the area.

I would suggest that you find some local meet-ups in your area and start attending. 

Lafayette has a meetup that may be close enough for you to attend.

@Kris LouI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.

@Gregory GadsonHi, I attended the Renatus 2 hour seminar in North CA last night.

I would recommend attending some of the monthly meetups.

A strong partnership is built on trust, shared values, and aligned goals, so it's not something to rush into.I recommend attending in-person networking events to meet like-minded individuals.

We have been sharing a car since 2020 in different households when she worked from home and attended college online.She worked and studied, maintained good grades and was compensated for it via her school and the system.

What you can also do is attend local or long-distance meetings and meet with people who are landlords in NYC. 

If there are two borrowers, then of course if a POA is used it would be limited to one borrower...If both borrowers were available and/or decided to attend they would both sign the loan and therefore no POA.2.
