Specifically wondering if they award the FMR listed on the HUD site, if there is an abundant applicant pool, and if the housing authority is responsive. 

I do have a preferred vendors list that I have been curating since I've taken on management. 

Do you have a set list of expenses you work off? 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

I’ll make sure to add the other two to my list.

There is also a "members only" website with a vendor list and lease documents.

I've been listing to Bigger Pockets for over a year now.

Hiring a property management company will eat away roughly 10% of your rental receipts; however you won't have to worry about creating a contractor list and you may not have to deal with calls at 11:00 at night.Upstate NY is also an option.There are a couple of real estate networking events that meet in NYC.

Purchased in cash far below listing price.

I’ll continue doing research, but Columbus and Cleveland are now on my list in the spreadsheet I have.
