The guy I signed up with basically knew nothing more than me filling out the application. 

Hi John,Welcome to the community!

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m looking for advice on breaking even or generating positive cash flow with my studio condo in Prospect Heights, NYC.

I also don't like the sardine effect where your just packed in a building, ocean lakes is tight with homes but still feels private at the house(s), golf cart community and 2 min from the ocean on a golf cart where ours are.

I'm in the process of comping duplexes vs condos, but was hoping for community input on any local factors I might be missing.

I work with Steadily as an independent insurance agent and haven't had issues.Did you e-sign your initial application?  

Simultaneously, you're managing applicants and tenants, who are often working within tight timelines to secure or renew leases.

Keep in mind that they can increase that period if they get complains from the community, so make sure you're in good relationship with your neighbors.
