We mailed out an absentee owner list last month and now acquiring a 6 unit multifamily tomorrow because the owners are an older couple with health issues.Marketing to retired investors is great because they often have multiple properties they want to sell.Good luck!

I want to start investing there to increase cash reserves however I have an end goal of buying and holding multiple properties that are free and clear in order to sustain a comfortable, but not lavish, lifestyle for myself and my family. 

I just passed the NYREI school & NY state RE salespersons tests and have the required textbook from the course that I no longer need.  

Cap rates are typically higher and you have multiple tenants to pay rent. 

Can you go multiple weeks and months without ever closing a deal and keep going?

However, there are downsides to include the wear and tear of multiple adults in the property instead of a small family or couple.  

Question:  So why the mobile app when you already have essentially the same thing through a web browser but with the added functionality of multiple tabs/pages to manage at once? 

I've done it multiple times.  

Obviously I wont have any experience right after I pass the school test and then the state license.Any advice on what should I do in order to start working right away and increase my opportunity to get some exposure to the market?

No big surprises, I don't think, being that there was a house there not too long ago.I was just contacted by the REO closing coordinator and he said that "a dye test is required for this property and it is the buyer's responsibility".
