He is not comfortable finding a tenant on a timely basis. 

How do you find deals?

I find too many people struggle to come up with a name, just pick it and continue to focus on what makes you money.

Thank you, MargaretChallenges: Finding a boutique local broker that is or has an agent that would be a mentor for investing/wholesaling hasn't panned out for me.

Also a bit worried about finding renters since its a bit far from the University, but still within a 10 min driving distance.Thank you!

While this is true that NY State is not landlord friendly/2nd behind CA in its laws as being the most tenant friendly, I find it a bit strange agents will often try to talk someone out of property.

Yeah, if the numbers don’t cash flow then wait until you find another deal.

Where else can you find entertainment + valuable information in one place!?

Read these forums and you'll find property management is one of the most hated professions.

I think you would find a hard time getting a low deductible AND a low premium...really from any carrier today.
