However, we are not sure how long we are staying in NYC (possibly considering to move away in next summer).Also, crime rate in the area is not ideal according to Trulia either. 

But I have a feeling that i wont have much luck finding anyone since the complex itself is having a hard time staying above 80% occupancy.

I also schedule quarterly inspections so I can stay on top of all maintenance issues and be proactive.This allows the tenant to know I'm an engaged owner/manager/landlord and has resulted in a better experience for me and the tenant.Hopes this helpHappy investing!

Be smart - stay single, or at least make sure you get a pre-nup!

Here are some specific action items:-build out your profile on BP, I want to see a picture of you, know what you do and what your goals are-be helpful on BP, start trying to answer/participate in posts where you have some value-start reaching out to people on BP specifically, with small, specific asks-go to a few networking events every month and plan on talking to many people...it takes 5 + bad conversations to find 1 good one-go to 2-3 conferences per year and be very purposeful there in your intentions, don't just go to sessions and stay quiet, be intereactiveI probably should have started with this, but what is your goal in connecting with these people?

I would stay away from on-time fee firms.
