Hi Cesar,

I think I'm a little late to the party. How did this go? When is the next meetup?

Thanks,

Billy

Hi Guys, I'm reviving this old thread but I'm in need of a reliable contractor and a licensed plumber who works in the north Bronx/Westchester area.  If you know of a plumber or contractor that you've worked with in the NYC area that you would recommend please let me know I'd definitely want to reach out to them. Thanks in advance for the recommendations.

@James Black I finally closed on my triplex in Wakefield earlier this month. I have to agree with @Tae Young Lee  its very different from the city but I'm liking it so far.

Congrats Tae Young Lee I know how hard it is. With any luck I'll be an owner in the Wakefield area by next month.

Post: Raising rent

Hmm good question. I'm currently in this situation. Trying to acquire a property where the long term tenants have a below market rent. The only way this deal works is if I raise the rent to market.  I will send them an official notice of the change once the current lease runs its course. Either they stay in the apartment with the new rent (a 28% increase) or move out is up to them. I am fairly confidant that I can find replacement tenants within a short time frame, if need be.
