When you get them on the phone setup a time to do a zoom call, see how they do business, who the connections are they have, and if you get to know them through those conversations and feel good go meet them in person.

I've found many excellent wholesalers I do business this way.Another approach...just Google "sell my house" in your area and there will be at least 3-4 paid ads, and dozens more unpaid that will pop up.

Frankly, I would be surprised if a real estate agency would want to hold rent properties in the same entity as their brokerage business.

Currently, I am planning to build single-family homes on those lots.Keep this business simple and focused on your niche.

Send this certified so that they see you mean business.

In the early stages, they will often email a business plan and/or hold a webinar describing the investment. 

Specifically, we're exploring whether constructing a duplex and triplex or two duplexes would be the most profitable option.

So, I have no idea how much money I owe for 2023&2024, how much money is actually mine, how to take advantage of tax deductions/credits/RE professional Status/ renovation costs/perform a cost segregation, if I really need a wealth manager at this point and how to take out my retirement investment and move it to a mutual fund I run independently.My ultimate goal: create systems for my corps to run smoothly and optimize business-related expenses,  keep my books up-to-date for both corps so I know my input/output, pay quarterly taxes throughout the year, give myself a modest monthly income and  continue to preserve/build wealth and grow my RE PORTFOLIO!

Quote from @Hieu Le: Most HOAs consider a short-term rental to be a business, not a residence.

The city will require a few pictures of the apartment to make sure it is live-able and once a lease is signed and submitted to HRA, they will verify the applicants income, and it will take up to 10 business days for NYC HRA to write a check for the total amount of the 1 year lease.
