Hello BP,About 3 years ago I purchased my first property a 2 bedroom coop in Queens NYC, I have recently been pre-approved for a FHA loan for about 550k .

Elizabeth,Make sure you find a realtor with 20+ years experience, reason being, they have been thru multiple RE cycles, not just 1 or 2.

Man I'm gone for a week and I miss quite possibly the most entertaining thread here on BP :mrgreen:By the way does this castle come with its own king and queen?

As for you wanting the place to be in "nice condition when she moves out......well the sooner this drama queen moves out the sooner you can get your propoerty back and rent to a paying tenant.Guaranteed that on November 1st she will say....due to all this stuff going on with the family i haven't had time to get anything notarized, etc.  

My family (parents and I) had recently purchased our first home in Queens and it is currently under renovation.

One of the speakers- The Note Queen, stated she was educated by Henry, Henry is now deceased . 

They used heat sensors to locate the center of the hive under the subfloor, pulled back the carpet and pad, cut a smallish hole in the subfloor and then removed the queen and the hive.  

@Elizabeth Wilson  The three day has a lot of good content but there is an upsell to the mentorship program.  

@Elizabeth Wilson Thanks for the info!

You may also try the Note Queen on her website, just search for her on Google.Have a great week.
