Quote from @Stuart Udis: My comment has nothing to do with comps and your decision to make the repair shouldn't be comp influenced either.  

LOL"I considered my comment above a joke, not a political comment. 

Hi Tony, great accomplishment in such a short period of time..I would agree with rest of the comments.

As I said, Peter Strikes me as an honest guy and is giving out TONS of free valuable content, even his YT comments have great feedback.2.

You need to risk adjust your return based on the above comments. 

Seems like everybody who is with them likes it and all the negative comments come from people who havent tried it.

Rent To Retirement sells new construction houses in growth markets, so your comments don't really apply here.

Just recognize this and understand it will not lead to return that is likely to positively affect your life.  

A seller who needs to unload a property with violations is usually in a weak position, and buyers who understand NYC’s compliance system can leverage these problems to their advantage.A property with an open permit, a Stop Work Order, a Vacate Order, or a Work Without a Permit violation often means fewer competing buyers, stronger negotiating power, and the possibility of structuring escrow agreements to address the issue after closing.

I'm not really sure why you are responding to my comment with this wall of text that at first glance appears to refute my position that GP's are to blame, but does not actually provide any argument.
