I don't see any reason why a legimate, arms-length transaction could not be done.4.

I'm not saying the list is ridiculous,  because all safety concerns should be addressed.

Thankfully I have no property in NY.I loved this quote which shows just how clueless people are about housing issues:“Housing instability is at the root of so many problems facing our city, such as exacerbating homelessness and hunger, failing to meet our children’s educational needs, and undermining public safety,” said the CWTU in a statement.

Hey Lenny,Love to see that you also got the Real Estate bug so youngI recommend a BRRRR/house-hack for your first oneBuy a place that you can live in with a low downpayment, fix it up, and then you will have the option to 1) Refinance and live in it2) Refinance and rent it out3) Sell and do it over again4) Dont refinance and continue to live in it5) Dont refinance and rent it outYou will have a ton of flexibility and the safety of knowing you have a place to livePlease reach out via DM if you have any questions moving forward.

Money left over should be placed in reserves until you have an appropriate safety net for your particular portfolio.

You’re pretty much admitting it’s not about safety.

Don't need a ton of pictures but I want to get a decent idea of the location and condition.So basically you dont want your customer to know it look dumpy until they show up.....I can understand the safety from people looking for vacant houses.... then anyone selling a house better take all of their outside pictures off their listing

Keep in mind that I am selling them as affordable fixer uppers and usually only address any health, safety, and functionality issues.

They usually cherry-pick fire and safety related items from new editions of the building code that just can't wait, in their opinion.

Hire a licensed and insured electrician there are codes that are in place to protect people and property it is a safety risk that you should not cut corners to save a few dollars on.
