I grew up in RI but moved to Boston for college and have been in the Boston area for 15 years.

I did look to see that in Jersey City people must apply online rather than in person, and there is a page with “What I can do with my residential property?”  

For instance, Berea is a charming college town, but the combination of local taxes and less favorable price-to-rent ratios makes it less appealing for investment compared to other areas in the state.Agree here! 

I put my location as New York since that is where I will be moving after college for work.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Hey @Ingrid Hussey, we’d also recommend QuickBooks—specifically QuickBooks Online—so you’re not limited by Mac or PC and can access it from anywhere (not just your local system).

I first started out in Real Estate by house hacking in college. 

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

More and more I see buyers look online, drive out to the house, and then while sitting in front of the house, CALL. 

These firms with large online presences use fear mongering techniques to sell services without ever fully explaining how their entity structures actually benefit the client.
