Lots of smart people on here don't like condos as investments, though I think you can do alright if you have a great location for solid tenants. 

They have good training programs, good company culture, good orientation to help you grow beyond being just an agent, and when you start completing a lot of sales, they are a smart financial choice.

I know the smart thing would be to send it to every single relative but the fact is I have very little money and need to be more strategic about this.

@Neil Henderson I have many complaints about VRBO/HA's technology, fees, and practices, just like I have complaints about Airbnb customer service, and strict communication rules but if someone is asking from a "how do I make the most money" standpoint I suggest use all the services you can including facebook and a personal website and see what gains traction.

Deciding to work with investors is a smart move especially now that the BRONX is officially burning with interest from investors. 

It wouldn't be smart to just rely on one source.

Better yet, go in there: my local housing authority doesn't do well with new technology, like computers, email, or telephones. 

Because I don't have the decades of credit history that would put me there.However, there's no reason why some hustle and smart repayment of your debt according to a solid plan shouldn't result in putting you in position to have a credit score that will allow you access to conventional financing in 12-18 months, or much less. 

Mostly smart people in the field.  

And as @Vonn Peterson smartly pointed out, don't just look at the city rules.
