Send me a PM if you prefer not to post publicly.

I'm a licensed CPA living in NYC and have just recently given my 2 weeks notice for my position at Ernst & Young, a Big 4 Public Accounting Firm.

@Candace PostellOn average, you make more money if you list it to with an agent versus trying to do a private sale without marketing it to the general public.

You need to have clear, articulable (preferably written) requirements of your rental criteria.You need to processes each application as you receive it.Once one is approved, you offer the rental to the person.You are a treading a dangerous line if you publicly advertised this property for rent.  

Probably find property that have closed, then cross that with the public record for which ones have a mortgage and the ones that don't cross are your cash deals.

Since getting my license in 2016,  I work with both investors and the general public.

When searching for a market I almost settled on Birmingham however I had a difficult time building a team and getting sufficient information on the public record.  

I was interested in offering CD holders a better way to get a higher return on their money. I know you can get a list just can't remember where. 

I think one thing I am mainly after is seller leads before they go public.

I wont walk over and get a cup of coffee for 600.00 .. one would go BROKE running a company and bringing in that low of dollar amount.. could never pay for staff.what the public does not realize is HML generally are paying someone for their capital.Like me I had big LOC with my banks  25 million worth...
