Hi folks, As the topic states I'm looking to learn everything I can about New York City nd its real-estate market.

Does anyone have a good contract or outline of terms they like using with contractors? 

It's been a few years since I last updated the list of providers (there are older threads on this topic here on BP), but at last blush there were five trust companies offering the ability to write and service mortgages from registered accounts:B2B BankCanada Western TrustOlympia TrustEastern TrustCommunity Trust CompanyOf these, Canada Western and Olympia has the best offerings at the time.  

This seems to be a heavily debated topic with many having their own opinions.

So much propaganda they only list peer-reviewed medical journals outlining the data and conclusions http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-biblio...it's not a conspiracy that most insurance companies either do not allow those breeds on properties they insure or the exclude damage done by those "vicious breeds" it's an actual, real and present danger and very applicable to the aspiring and actual professional property manager/investor.

i would not buy a random property in Alabama that you find on Zillow and turn it over to people you've never met just because the price point is appealing.here are some threads on how that can go:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...i own property in 3 states - happy to answer any questions you have.

The lease agreement is quite vague and doesn’t outline responsibilities clearly.
