I shall indeed take / heed the tips / direction.Trying to find a quality rental, outside of just using my local paper and CraigsList, is my quest ;;)

Prices are reasonable, quality is exceptional.

Again, this is where proof of funds and quality of the counter party matters.Good luck.

That's a great idea -- it's amazing how quickly the neighborhoods change quality here. 

Quality/consistency of cash flow should also be considered, not just quantity.

I see you are in the NJ area, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the quality of the REIA NYC, as I was invited to another event by a different group that turned out to be a Renatus sales pitch.

I have yet to find a legitimate wholesaler in this market (I'm open if there is one, contact me).The margins have become so tight that even the big turnkey guys seem to be lessening the depth and quality of their flips.

With good screening you can get quality tenants that arent section 8.  

Use your time on the MLS to learn the market you're investing in, but opt for quantity over quality.

My fear is that I wont get it filled as fast as an agent would, and I also have a feeling higher quality people would search for places to rent through a agent.
