I'm amazed that you could do this for $35k.  

GREAT job!!  We just renovated one of our apartments and used the vinyl plank flooring. I'm amazed at how realistic it looks. Should be lots better than carpet in the long run. Waterproof, mold proof, sturdy.   

fantastic job!  

it takes hustle and hard work in the beginning.  Hang in there.  

Our story:  30 yrs ago my husband and I (reluctantly) bought 4 - 4 unit buildings. Mortgaged our paid off home x 2'(first and equity) plus small seller finance with balloon.  Worked 2-3 jobs as pharmacist and nurse for over 15 yrs to pay off our buildings in 15 years and rehab almost everything. Bought 5th building at foreclosure 5 yrs ago.  Lots and lots of work and sweat.  Now: we're 72 & 77 yrs old, live in paid off home on a lake in NH and live 6 mos in Paid off condo in Fl.  Still actively working our buildings for retirement income. Screen tenants meticulously.  Continue to fix up the properties. Would like to sell but taxes are the Big Issue. 

1. Contact your broker and have him inform the seller. 

2. Send a registered letter to the seller saying after a certain number of days it will be disposed. 

3. Check the NY state law on how long landlords have to store exiting tenants goods and use that as a guideline. (In NH it's only 7 days -- live free or die)
