I live in New York City but have been recently made aware of Rochester NY as a place where SFH and MFHs can be purchased sub-50k and command rents usually in excess of 2% per month of the asking price.My question is, are there anythings about Rochester you feel are worth while knowing about before more seriously considering investing there?

Your water bill should provide a usage history, and you can show this to the tenants letting them know any cost in excess of (average usage +X%) will be billed to them monthly.The real problem here being that the Tenant is going to end up destroying your W/D.  

Hello, I live in Florida and I know about Unclaimed excess tax deed sale proceeds, is it legal to have a company where have my attorney draw up an agreement between me and the person who has claim to this excess money to where I tell them about this money the have claim to for a fee?

Is there excess land around the site you could buy with it to expand parking? 

If the rents are $500 vs $3000 per month and you collect a percentage you will be low on the $500 per month and in excess on the 3k per month.

They would require me to demolish, file plans, get it approved, and build it again from scratch as a business office, and 20 years ago would cost me in excess of $35K.

If you bid over the price of the lien what happens to the excess bid when the homeowners pays the tax lien?

If they do, I suspect they can cover the excess water (even three hours won't be a huge increase, maybe $20 - $40?)

This will help avoid points and excessive hard costs.Message me if you have any questions!

A regular tenant wouldn't be okay with all the excess stuff so this is why I did this arrangement instead of letting the house sit empty earning $0 rent.
