I can recommend a local architectural/engineering firm (previous office was on 36st in Astoria) that is very experienced, knowledgeable and professional.All the best to you & your dad on this next chapter!

Serious hosts that want to be in business for the long haul should be cultivating direct relationships where possible with a goal to OWN their business and not just be a listing on a booking site.My 2 cents.Mindy

With the attorney not doing proper notice, the firm handles many many foreclosures and I would be surprised if this was the case. 

PPR is not a servicing company, they are a note investment firm.

In my experience as a CPA I find that the tax prep firms have bookkeepers but their primary service is tax preparation.

. :).An interesting result of the 1.25% DSCR being more firm on the commercial side is that rent-to-price ratios and cashflows are better.

Once you have a firm grasp of your goals, you'll be better positioned to make informed decisions regarding the location of your investment properties.

Are you you looking on joining a real estate firm soon?

if the deal still pencils with multiple strategies & you're planning to hold it long term, 20k over (in a higher cost market especially) will probably be chump change down the line. in general, it's good to not miss out on a deal just because you want a homerun deal. taking base hits get us further than waiting around for home runs. just keep in mind that if you have to come to the table with an extra 20k down (which you probably will bc the bank will only lend on the appraised value or PP whichever is lower), and you have to sell for some reason soon, you're probably losing that 20k. a risk you may be down to take if you really know your numbers, have multiple backup plans, and are in it for the long haul!

My firm currently has a buildable quarter acre infill lot available, but I'm mainly trying to gauge builders buying criteria, price and overall thoughts on building in that area.
