From what I can see real estate is the way to go.I'm in this for the long haul, and I'm in the San Diego area, so I'm really concerned with buy and hold and out of state investing.

We hauled off the meth exploded trailer $1,100 and worked with the health department to insure no contamination from the meth lab.

Be sure to hold firm on the late policy and adhere to the lease agreement.For marketing you could use all three of those methods.  

 Account Closed:Thanks for the tip on the autopopulate - one of the things a newbie has to learn on Bigger Pockets:)I have a realtor that I'm working with who sends me property listings daily based on several criteria that I asked him to set up.I'm in this for the long haul, God willing,  and I hope to get my license soon but for now, I would like to leverage on my realtor's knowledge and resources until I get more comfortable through experience.

I firmly believe that we all have something unique and valuable to bring to the table, and as a team, we will be stronger and more successful than if we tried to go at it alone.People always chuckle when I say this, but my ultimate goal is to dethrone Donald Trump as the so called king of real estate.

Well I firmly believe that in most states as the law stands now, it is perfectly legal to wholesale by assigning a contract.

Be firm with the tenants.

The problem is finding a good property management firm to take care of it, since I live in NY.Searching for one online is really useless.

Oftentimes, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to just say "no" to their unreasonable requests, and if you stand firm with that, they won't push it much.

I saw PayLease.com and cozy.co but I'm not sure how good are these firms.
