It's taken a lot of trial and error to find a PM that not only has a great rate, but high level of performance.

Trial by fire, that one.

Its like playing with real stocks with fake money. its a great way to practice. first for ARV- be careful using just price/sqft for valuations. it is almost ALWAYS more accurate to use comparable property sale prices rather than their price per sqft. and getting a good idea in your head for why their sale prices are higher or lower than the neighborhood average and sort of adjusting in your head for it. make sure that comparable property has less than a 20% up  or down variation in square foot, that it is a like style house ( ranch comps for a ranch, two story comps for a two story) , Make sure you are only using above sqft and above sqft as comps when you are looking for properties with similar sqft. if your house is a 2000 sqft ranch you will get a lot more for it than a 1000 sqft house with a 1000 sqft basement. this is very important.

Too many variations on the wholesaling method. 

Maybe you can create a Meet-up group that encompasses NY and the surrounding areas, NJ, PA and test trial if people would be interested in a meeting on a monthly or even a quarterly basis.  

There's a lot of variation within that and the long-term outlook for each neighborhood is not the same.It's not uncommon to find 100 year old houses in E, S and W San Antonio, which may be good for you if that means more demand for property inspections - I'd be interested to hear your perspective.San Antonio has a unique identity with the Missions and a strong Latin culture.

I'm a big believer in trial and error and learning from your mistakes.

I cancelled in 30 day trial period because i couldn't locate any area to invest.  

My education was trial by fire, treat it like a business to start and do not undersell your rental units.  

I did trials with both, and they both seem to have good features, but I would love to hear from someone who has actually used them both.
