If anyone could help guide me I'd really appreciate it.Currently living in Long Island, NY paying $850 (utilities included) for a nice private upstairs in a middle aged married couple's house.

Taxes and Utilities were pulled from the county and city websites. 

She has been receiving mail there and has put the cable bill in her name, but not the other utilities. 

You can do the same for hiring marketing team members, who can help you place content online to attract investors.When it comes to acquisitions, partnering with other sponsors on deals is a great way to gain real experience and quickly build a reputation for your firm to grow and scale accordingly.Finally, investors should be utilizing technology to automate day to day processes and free up time; Mailchimp is a cheap and useful tool for investor relations communications, HubSpot is a free CRM database that can help you stay in touch with investors, and AirTable is great for company project management and assignment tracking.Do you have any other tips or insights to making the transition?

@David White another thing to consider is adding an acquisition fee (2-3% of acquisition price) for finding the property or an ongoing "management fee" (2-5%) for the person(s) managing everything associated with the property (e.g. managing property managers, contractors, paying utilities, paying taxes, legal, etc.) 

Like others have mentioned, Zillow, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace are all great resources to utilize.

But, CT's utilities are higher. 

So I wound up taking a project management internship with a utility company.

We have W/D electric hookups but no W/D and the W/D utility room is not cosmetically appealing.

If you can utilize owner occupant financing and force a decent amount of equity at the same time, it's tough to lose on a deal like that, especially as a buy and hold.
