Should I Buy Multifamily Despite NY Laws That Protect Bad Tenant
Not sure if I should still invest in a multifamily by Troy Upstate Ny, because it is not a Landlord Friendly State and protects bad tenants from being evicted right away in 2-3 months like you can in PA or CT..
My Fears & Concerns Are:
I get bad tenant who knows how to play the system to delay the eviction process, may even purposely breaks things in apartment and state not paying rent till all things are repaired and then does not open door when someone comes to repair the problem all a scheme to to delay the eviction process up to 2 years in some cases as I have heard of horror stories.
Question:
1) Should I buy multifamily elsewhere like PA or CT which have laws in place to evict BAD tenants fast within 3 months
2) Should I still consider investing in upstate NY if I find a good deal despite the laws that protect bad tenants, if so WHY ?
3) What do I need to do or put in place to make sure a bad tenant who knows how to play the system to their favor does not take advantage of me and stays up to 2 years rent free playing the housing court system ...............
4) Does a good experienced attorney help to evict bad tenants quickly, what makes them good with evictions and can you recommend to me a good attorney that knows also how to play the system to evict tenants quickly
5) What is the shortest time and longest time it took you to evict bad tenant from your multifamily
