I don't think non-NYC Brokers realize the level of sophistication that certain elements work over here but I think you all hear about it.Even Kushner Companies have been accused of corruption in his dealings with Rent Regulated Apts.

Good luck girl, don’t let them get you down.  i’m not a big fan of going to work for other people either but if I was in the situation you just described I would probably commit to going back at least for a year while I got my house selling business off the ground.

Be sure to have the tenant sign or initial the section of the lease so they can't down the road raise a stink and say they were never made aware of the cameras and accuse you of "spying" on them or whatever.

Some may think I'm being too honest with the banks, but I've always figured that honesty is the best policy, and I wouldn't want to be accused of fraud, etc later on.  

Why anyone would ever jeopardize their license or REO account(s) by pulling some of these stunts is beyond me, but no one ever accused realtors of being excessively intelligent.

Would you marry a girl without visiting her first? 

You have to send letters, go talk to the owners, call them and put your neck out there.I'm speaking from knowledge I've gained from the book so take my advice with a grain of salt.Also there was just a post on here where a girl did a letter campaign and got a stunning amount of responses.

@Matthew Olszak Yeah, I'm not a city-girl.

After reading that, how in the world would anyone actually WANT to rent to this girl, I removed the phone number for obvious reasons.
