Im a syndication attorney (SEC lawyer).  

Hi BP,So i just passed my school and state exam in long island,The reason i did this was to become an agent so when i do flips i have access to MLS and i can use the buyers commission as the flipper to pay buyers commission when home is being sold.Im trying to figure out what type of broker i should join, most of the big brokers focus on sales agent pitch too much, the only thing im trying to figure out as an agent is what type of docs i should be looking at when im closing my own purchases or could a lawyer take care of all that at closing.ThanksKhan

I went through the 2007 market crash, and the net effect on mobile home parks was a spike in demand and higher rents (as our rents mirror the apartment rents, which had a huge run after 2007).

We have had several ultra bad laws passed in the last few years (minimum wage laws, gun laws, business regulation of various sorts, etc), but they're limited in scope, and if they don't effect you personally it's easy for the overall situation to be pretty great still.

Absentee Owners have been popular for a long time, and are apparently still somewhat effective (people are still mailing to them) but they are getting multiple offers to buy their home.

I think the first step is choosing a market and then reaching out to realtors, mortgage brokers, property managers, contractors, lawyers, banks, etc. in the area. 

But know that you will only find people who are actively looking and typing in the keyword phrases that you have optimized for.Mail can be effective if you hit lists that who aren’t on every other investor’s radar.

I suspect most taxpayers aren't savvy or informed enough to know to do this, unless I sought ejectment and they had their lawyer tell them.

Learn the process, find the lawyer you'll need.
