Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

There was also a part of that law that enacts rent control anywhere in the state, which may affect your plans.Make sure any changes you are proposing to the contract are compliant with the "new" New York State housing laws. 

But more importantly, it’s about building something bigger than myself—a system that empowers the community and leaves a legacy of impact.This project isn’t just about restoring a historic site or running a program—it’s about creating a vehicle for change that allows others to succeed.

Why is New York your next move? 

I had to restore my phone about a month ago and I haven’t been able to re-download the iOS app since then. 

It has been bad for the general US populace and good for a select elite group of US and international business interests who now seek to manipulate the masses to believe ending it will be bad for them, the people.Balance is what needs to be restored and the tool as old as the nation to do such is tariffs.  

Consider Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight from New York to Paris.

I tried in my market which is the 2nd biggest to New York, so pricing for ads was really high and the return was not great.

To start my portfolio, I intend to buy a property in my area to retire my mother from New York.
