My goal is to help people invest in properties and grow my business, but as a beginner, I'd love some advice on getting my foot in the door. 

Quote from @Jordan Sachs: I'm getting the info from my friend not her husband so it is possible something is missing however, I think she's mostly concerned that there is now a lien on the new owner's property and less about paying the actual bill.

The tenant supposedly had complained for months to the property manager that the furnace was not working.

Ive been asked numerous times by folks if I could act as their GC for build-to-rent/build-to-sell properties.- How would this work from a lending perspective?

All the best to you during your last semester.Househacking is one of the most common routes for new investors in NY.For best returns, I'd recommend focusing on South and Southeast Queens, Central and Southeast Brooklyn, and the Bronx.There are parts of the suburbs (Westchester and Long Island) that have househack opportunities but the property taxes are higher and the commute time to NYC is longer.Abel

We currently have a construction loan on the properties and we would like to refi to a more conventional loan.

The current property is propane-only, and while natural gas is available, the cost to bring the line is around $40K–$50K.

Quote from @Marcos De la Cruz: Thanks for the reply but I'm interested in reviews pertaining to that company and the properties they sell to investors.Not really considering them for PM. 

The series is a link for plaintiff attorneys to look up every property in the series.

Simon, my investment group does lots of properties in Pitt.
