High taxes, a declining population, and an environment that is less than friendly to businesses are important factors to consider.

NY is a very tenant friendly state, so if he doesn't leave and she's on a month to month.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

If you are in a state where eviction cost is high and it is tenant friendly you may need a higher credit score to offset default risk and eviction cost.If you are in a landlord friendly state where it is easier to get non paying tenants out you may be able to handle more none payment risk.  

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

The ypromise the world and a happy, friendly place to live but then they they do nothing.

Hi Michael, I have found value investing in Cleveland, OH because it is home to Cleveland Clinic, lot of good neighborhoods, landlord friendly laws, stable appreciation and good cash flowing properties.

In this case, you would draft an operating agreement that specifies each partner's role—your friend providing the cash and you handling the rehab and management—and that profits and ownership are split evenly.

That’s a serious swing, and I’ve seen something a bit like this before with a friend of mine who tackled a teardown project in a quieter part of Austin.

Best you can do is individually pull title on properties.
