The Westchester multifamily market is a solid one to target! 

I was pecking away on the iPhone but using the web browser so I could post photos. 

Even if you joined a good mentoring program in another location, they will probably tell you to start building a team in your target market, so the end result is the same.Again, I can only speak firsthand of the Sumrok program, but I can tell you that Brad's students are absolutely doing the things you mentioned in your two bullet points.

Quote from @Jules Aton: Does anyone target retention? 

Targeted marketing would come via social media, which is usually priced on a $ per impression or $ per click basis.  

Target neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Kensington, and Point Breeze, where demand and ARV potential are currently strong.Your skills in renovations will give you a significant edge in controlling costs and boosting returns.

Currently being leased, but expect my total cash on cash return to be above the number I target.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Zoning Ordinance ExceptionsSome properties in the target zone don’t meet the minimum lot area or width size requirements under the zoning ordinance, yet houses exist on smaller-sized neighbor lots.How could these properties get approval for development?

You have a far better chance trying to sell to an individual than targeting hedge funds.
