FIRST: This is ALL dependent upon your state and local statutes, so make sure you know what you are permitted and not permitted to do in your market with regards to terminating a lease.And your post is written by someone different about once a week here on BP.  

This way you can get an FHA loan or even a lot of local banks will let you buy with only 5% down. 

Can anyone recommend some good local real estate meetups, events, or conferences in your area that are worth attending as a vendor?

The cap rates appear attractive at first glance, though a thorough analysis of the local markets is essential, especially the long-term vacancy rates.

Hi Jerrell, I would recommend consulting with a local NYC RE attorney to confirm NYC tenant/landlord laws and regulations 

@Jim Vani I would start with your local title companies, I suspect several of them would offer account servicing options. 

I would go with someone local, someone you know, someone who is honest and trustworthy, someone who knows what they are doing, rather than a big name you saw on the internet. 

Furthermore, the heat poses elevated wildfire risk, which could partly be why in two filings with the California State’s Department of Insurance on Thursday, State Farm disclosed it is seeking a 30% rate increase for homeowners, a 36% increase for condo owners and a 52% increase for renters.No matter what side of the political divide, in my near forty years on this planet I have personally noticed local and global warming.

It's possible but it's determined by your local market, the size of the roof, and materials used.

I would also recommend you expand your strategy to reaching out to local high producing agents and inquire about pocket listings as well (listings that are being sold off market and not on the MLS).
