Is there more trash and graffiti around than ever?

A few tips..You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box.

But as with most clubs, membership dues pays for the meeting rooms, the name tags etc.

I admire those that have been in the field for many years and if you can find ever some time to tag a Rookie along in a Project would be more than welcome to give up my free time to come along.

How do you tag people in the forums?

For some reason my tags didn't work for @Douglass Benson @Jeff Greenberg @Joe Fairless and @Scott Meyers

One of my new year's resolutions is to try harder to understand that there will be investors (young, old, new, seasoned and all in between) that will do bad things, they will do bad things for a dime or perhaps for no reason at all really.I'm also trying much harder not to use a hammer to swat flies when a bit of fly paper will do.For those who insist on creating notes at 1% or zero interest, just understand that if you don't disclose to some unknowing seller that they will get tagged with imputed tax rates forced upon their note then you just created a potential liability for yourself.If you have a mortgage broker who may be a party to your note, they may provide or write the note, I've written hundreds of them as a broker/servicer.

Steve, My knowledge of properties in NYC is very limited, but with what I do know and have observed personally (I used to tag along with my Uncle - he's a construction contractor) on buildings with age like you have throughout New York, it is very important to check for leaks, as well as foundational issues.
