I have been in Milwaukee WI for quite a while as investing in my backyard in NY is cost prohibitive. good luck on your journey!!!! 

I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.

The cleaning costs alone were over $9k.

Eastmoor and whitehall are good too because of newer home ages after 1940 where you don't have knob and tube wiring and some of the other issues. don't be afraid to look at new construction or ground up new builds closer to downtown. rentals are overpriced in these areas but build costs are low and it can be a good strategy 

The overhead to start a company is low, but the cost to scale is high. 

We don't believe they are stealing, but their negligence has cost us a lot of money.* Is this enough to file suit in small claims court? 

I get that labor costs (along with everything else!)

I always a little under my target amount ( a month interest and half the cost of the attorney) so they can negotiate.
