I have my own list of properties that are a great rate of return on investment that I'm saving for myself if I ever get an Angel Investor or loan...I feel like going to a loan shark (lol would never do...I like my arms and legs!) 

Now that the chum is in the water, the sharks will be circling, then closing in ...If you do want to ask about a certain company, there is a forum here on BP for that - "Ask about a company" I think is what it is called.

@Matthew Charron If you are going to go out of your way to do due diligence for the investors... get an Oil tank sweep..

If the market tanked, rent would have to drop 30-40% for us to start cash flowing negative.

Some background : During 2008-2009,the metro NY didn't really tank .It probably saw a correction of 10-15% based on neighborhood. 

There will be 120 investors in a room together tomorrow night 09/12 - find your way to the MAREI meeting - it is posted here on BP in the events - its Shark Tank night so we have a lot of people presenting as well as a lot of people who are just bringing flyers on their deals - and we will also have a lot of people looking for deals.

Doesn't look like someone just dumped a quart or two.oil near drinking water is a big issue for homes with buried heating oil tanks or above ground tanks leaking.

The buyers called an inspector that found an oil tank.

While not specifically real estate books, anything by Harvey Mackay is well worth while:Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten AliveBeware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt,Dig Your Well Before You’re ThirstyPushing the EnvelopeWe Got Fired!

Rented for $1150, we have recently had septic tank repair.
