Either hire someone to build you a unique website with lead capture ability or just focus on the business.

I have a giant spreadsheet that captures all regular expenses.

The more high-quality content you can get out the more keywords you will capture...

With the allowable rent increases due to the rent control, do you see (or have you seen) a trend developing where rather than allowing the market/individual landlord to determine rent increase rates, landlord's will automatically go for the maximum (7% you stated) to ensure they're capturing as much growth as possible, basically creating a 'market' that increases by 7% no matter what? 

This is an ongoing thread that captures all the development projects that are going on in the newark area. good resource if you are looking to map out where development dollars are going:http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?

I only purchased about 25% with cash, but when I did it was because the speed and condition netted a large equity capture going in. 

However, if the buyer comes along without an agent, then under some flat fee listing agreements, the seller pays 0 commission (this is how we set up our flat fee listing agreement).What this means for you, as the buyer, is that if you are working with a seller who has a flat fee MLS listing, you can potentially capture some of the money the seller would save since you do not have an agent.

Between those people and the MLS, I'd begin looking for value add properties where you can purchase at a deep discount with hard money or private funds, improve it, capture more equity and have less out of pocket. 

Quickbooks has been struggling in my opinion to meet the demand for real estate and in the recent years they have been trying to capture that market back.
