Any thoughts or ideas on the proper person to talk to about this? 

Unfortunately there is no individual or specific governing body in regards to property management in NY State so there are a lot of illegal companies pretending to be property managers and there are serious consequences for operating as a property manager without being properly licensed in NY.

I am looking to start a realestate investing company and am in need of some proper guidance into wholesaling.

He fought me to the point where I could no longer properly manage the property (I was doing all the work, he was reaping all the benefits), so I agreed to sell it and split the profit with him.

These are typically sold owner occupied and I know of two cases that did not end well because the owner was not willing to learn or capable of proper management. 

Properly sourcing investment opportunities involves a lot of work and is far from passive. 

Off-post/base BAH is usually reserved for E-5 and above which will better ensure a respectful tenant. ...if not, you’ll have their CO’s contact info.

So, in general financing for STR's with traditional financing (in my experience at least) goes off of previous tax history (schedule C/E) only since you will have no lease to go off of. 

The “cost of the water” if someone floods their unit is miniscule.....compared to the costs to repair that/other affected units.....which is why you have proper insurance.
