Congratulations to you from a fellow New Yorker:)

I am a former upstate New Yorker who has lived in Atl. since 1993.

you might be able to get some info at city hall or talking to other investors who have done it. one thing I might consider is getting in touch with investors who are currently renting out lofts and see if you can arrange some kind of meeting/lunch with them, if you make it worth their while, or are willing to help them or work with them or something, maybe even pay a fee for their advice/consulting, it might be worth a try. or if you can find someone who knows someone who will help you out, or just be able to show up somewhere and ask random questions if the opportunity arises. e.g. you could show up at open houses of lofts for rent if the owners show up there. check Now magazine listings etc. let me know if/when you have success with this, it sounds interesting.

In my area, there is a local magazine that has reviews of people in the community and their homes (no, I haven't made that one, lol) and it shows some nice properties, you might have something similar locally.

I also have a ton of marketing expertise from the other business ranging from television and radio commercials to magazines to internet marketing. 

It's one thing to take photos of a famous place that gets used in a magazine...it's a totally different one for listings for a home (in our book).

I may have one on file in your local market since I was there for the Canadian Real Estate Magazine convention last year.Hope this helps a bitCheers,

Ranked fourth in the nation in Forbes Magazine's "Best Cities For Jobs" rankings.

So, that's why I am taking the extra time to give you some support in this regard and as a fellow New Yorker.

@Joe Splitrock Most New Yorkers were not happy the city didn't make a deal with Amazon, as you can imagine@Payton Chung & @Keon Garraway Thanks for these great links@Ava Miller If you'd like to talk about the Raleigh area market check out our upcoming discussion here - https://www.biggerpockets.com/...We'll be talking about other local markets as well.
