man, it mustve been an absolute gem for you to have looked past the smell...

manhattan, ny
tho i might be lying about it

sit your pops down again and ask him what he would like to happen.
what is the business of that co. he works for? what does he do for them?
definitely consult an attorney on this matter before any action is taken.
if the situation is way overboard, id get the media involved... heh

sick deal, the heli is best option to get to job site. id get more anxiety watching the pilot get close to me with the blades.

as long as there is no smell...

are you using credit cards and paying minimums?
drink or smoke?
i use cash for my purchases and quitting drinking has helped me to quit smoking, that just saves tons of money... drink and smoke costs a minimum of 600 per month for me.
working out and shopping to eat/cook at home helps... the workouts take at least 1hr and youll want rest at some pt after. cooking and eating at home saves me about 500 month.
this topic has made me calculate the money saved, something i didnt consider. i started to clean up my act mostly for my health, now i see its helped me save a few dollars also.
through all that i know i am still snobbish when it comes to certain things and will pay premiums for higher quality products.

if real estate will be the secondary occupation for you then i would say get the license(the time invested is worth it) and see what comes from it. one of the hardest things about being an agent is the time between closings.

being a landlord is a rough thing, especially in NYC, it never pays to be nice(very few exceptions, almost none). i represent several landlords in lower manhattan and have seen their experiences(mostly negative) with tenants. best way to go about it is to have very high requirements, without violating state laws, to qualify as a tenant.

NYC leases are probably the most robust in terms of covering a landlord's *** from a tenant... i am just guessing that from all the renting done here. i think there are standard leases prepared and are available online(different ones for different situations).

pets, depending on the neighborhood, can be a rental agents' nightmare...
