I operate in NYC and we have very strict rules so I've had to be pretty savvy about getting around the rules and always looking for the loopholes:New requirements for new and renewing licenses Unlike before, you now have to prove your primary residence by providing at least two of the following documents: vehicle registration, driver's license, voter registration, tax documents or utility bill** Whats the problem here?

Being in and out of houses all day, every day give you insight on market conditions and allows you to take a pretty solid guess at ARV before you even run the numbers.We still suffer some of the regular problems though - like finding contractors who will show up on time and stay on budget.I have contacted about a half dozen paving contractors to look at a job at my home.  4 never returned the calls, two showed up and promised estimates. 

What are some ways people have and can raise capital for a down payment when it's pretty large?

I know this isn't a good neighborhood after looking at the crime stats and being somewhat familiar with that area.That said, for a 1st time investment, the numbers look pretty good.

$700 rents seem pretty cheap.

I’m still pretty new with only 2 rentals under my belt, but I’ll help where I can.

Was driving around looking for properties and came a cross a house that had fire damage the roof is pretty much gone.

It has rebounded, its pretty much back at peak level but we are shifting into a balanced market right now.

I am pretty sure all you need is a salesperson license to represent clients buying, selling and leasing, commercial property.
