New York Security Deposit Limit and ReturnNew York state law does not limit how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit.

And one of my friends had a realtor cancel her open house because the day before he was at a house he had just purchased and his two year old squeezed between the burglar bars on an open patio door, fell in the pool and drowned before anyone noticed.

Hi everyone, I live New York City, I was wondering if it was legal to sub-meter my tenants for water.

Hey BP community,I am looking to organize a casual drinks / meetup for folks who live & work in New York City and who invest in real estate part-time.

I'd look at properties that would work well for "entire space" listings - close to sites and attractions, safe area, bars/restaurants nearby, etc.I expect once our AirBNB listing becomes more seasoned, we'll be clearing our mortgage by well over $1,000/mth - providing more cash to fund future real estate deals.

My leverage on it will be extremely minimal;  one years' income would currently cover 4 years of carrying costs, and barring something like an atom bomb, I see no reason I wouldn't go into year 7 with at least 2 years income stashed.Since this isn't my "bread and butter" type of work, I just don't have the years under my belt of following the industrial market here.

Listen what I would do is drive around the neighborhood you can afford around 6pm if the bus stops have lots of people making there way from work there is one money to be made and two a community of decent ppl there I'm not sure if u have children if not living in a bad neighborhood isn't always as bad as it seems besides the money you collect in a year or two may propel you toward your real aspirations faster than not making the move and no matter where you buy your choosing the tenant so set a base line of what you will and won't accept and stick to it people live in Baltimore, New York, New Jersey all places that once where **** holes that have taken some major steps toward change but more importantly they made a big bag of money from those horrible hoods

For me, it improves the houses value, gives me peace of mind, and offers protection in any lawsuits.If you are interested in installing cameras for your property around the New York area please let me know.
