What are the best practices for quickly securing reliable tenants and ensuring positive cash flow, especially for someone new to this?

So out completely. and have to restart everything- Over 100 employees have gone thru this company is less than 2 years - wow- Management Doesn't really want input / just do as I tell you- Very low pay for the crap that you have to put up with- Can't believe that they are allowed to continue there hiring / firing practices - You should hire to maintain for a length of time.

Prior to syndicating deals, I worked for a commercial real estate investor in NYC for 14 years and gained a lot of knowledge and practical experience while in that role. 

I have seen a post from a guy that broke down his criteria for properties above 200k and below 200k and the price he is willing to pay for "deals" is so low the owners would be practically giving them away like buying an owner out saving them from a foreclosure and his comp forcast is for a 1 mile radius not 5 or 10.

I'm sure there are agents and investors with deeper insights, but for most of us, a consistent, long-term approach—similar to dollar-cost averaging when investing in index funds—seems like the most practical strategy.That being said, I am also interested to hear what others have to say though, so thank you for the post!

What are some practical actions I can take to get started?

If it is working with subs, a GC license won't help that in any practical way.At the end of the day, it depends on what you are looking to achieve.  

Good to see the city make some practical decisions.
