I’d offer to sign the form if I was allowed to cross out everything between brokerage firm and during the terms.

There are companies such as Cover that offers a full service ADU deliverable from design through construction completion.

But 2025 offers other opportunities that did not exist 10 or even 5 years ago - think AI and online businesses.

It likely is out of date as to cost as this info is quite old (my guess is 5 years but it could be longer):- Rent Recovery Service: offers flat fee service starting at $20. 3 letters start at $30.

I have gotten a seller's credit for my 3 existing units but to be conservative, I will assume I am paying full closing costs here.At the moment, I have ~$25k in a HYSA and expect to save another $10k from my W-2 before I start putting offers in.

Harlem is undergoing a significant transformation, and properties like this one, which offer both historical significance and modern amenities, are in high demand.

I’m excited to hear any advice or recommendations the community has to offer and looking forward to connecting with likeminded individuals.Thanks!

@Chris Mahoo Even without qualifying for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS), long-term rentals offer key benefits like depreciation deductions over 27.5 years, deductible expenses (e.g., mortgage interest, repairs), and up to $25,000 in passive loss deductions if your MAGI is under $150K.

But, this house went under contract in 3 days for $20k over ask, with multiple competing offers, in an area where the average days on the market for newly renovated flips is 100+ days! 

Recommend you don't make an offer.
