The upstairs 1 bed 1 bath unit is the closest to being ready and should bring in between 550-600 per month.

Hi Malik,Your closest bet is probably Connecticut or NJ.

Might be a silly question but, what would you say is the closest area just outside the city that would be less expensive?

If you still think it deserves a try though, I would just take the closest thing I can find on line and just modify it to suit your purposes, using a program like MS Publisher...

Bradford, I use Zillow, hotpads, Facebook, and even have a sign on the main road closest to my unit. 

Stay top of mind with those closest to you.

I'd have to say, negotiate your best deal with the partner, closest to 50/50 all around you can, and, if it still looks like you can at least break even after paying your wages, go for it! 

At a minimum, you need to call and mail out to your 300 closest friends/acquaintances/relatives/whoever, plus order 2000 business cards and start passing them out like candy. www.Retechulous.com (Josh Schoenly) is an agent marketing company that I've heard good things about (and no, I have no connection to them whatsoever).Might also want to google "real estate agent forums" to talk to rank and file agents, though 99% won't know crap about investing, if that happens to be a particular interest of yours.

No reason not to add the sizzle to the steak. 

I'm starting with the closest ones.I have 2 homes to go see in parks tomorrow that were advertised.
