If you are going to have a company manage your property, I would recommend you find someone that is local. 

i am sorry to hear you had so many problems to deal with during 2024. 

Irvington is very similar to newark, which has very strict laws with regard to rent increases. 

Perhaps....but   the person relocating to any given market and who has to make a purchase in a finite period of time is generally the least likely candidate to get a great deal on the purchase, meaning the appreciation is even more important. 

But my question is: how do you find a partner to work with?

Don't be afraid to go out-of-state, but you will need to do some legwork to build your team.Best of luck

Currently have it rented and plan to hold on to it.

I am in PA and yes, it is legal to charge late fees to your tenant regardless of Section 8 subsidies or not, provided the tenant's lease allows for them.

Goal is to double the equity ( nothing guaranteed ) in 3 years or under time between equity growth and cash flow.I stick to more strong suburban to urban core markets.
