Pex is a rare occasion where an advancement in material is easier, cheaper, and in my opinion a better building product due to its freezing resilience.

Airbnb sided with me multiple occasions but did the opposite and did not respond as they said they would have.

That may stem from my "early in my career"  occasions when I had sellers who went missing.

On rare occasions I've heard of brokers wanting nothing except referral clients to purchase property through them, but again that's pretty rare. 

Unfortunately, as you mentioned, there is no definite answer that I've come across either.Logic would say that since it is a NYC property, NYC income tax should be paid; however, Column B of Form IT-360.1 literally says "Amount of Column A for New York City resident period".I've run into this scenario before and actually spoke with both the NYS Dept. of Taxation and the NYC Dept. of Finance on multiple occasions - neither know the answer. 

Often some of these documents are provided at or near the escrow close and on occasion are not fully finalized (in the case of the GP entity docs) until after close.

I've been buying larger commercial deals for a while, but I still acquire a unique short term rental property on occasion.

We closed on a house last Friday and both my wife and I were discussing that we didn't have the same excitement we used to have on such an occasion.

We have had units with damage and those take longer, on two occasions over the years it took a few months, due to pet damage and willful tenant damage.Generally speaking vacancy is not a problem we worry about. 1 to 2% across all units and I'm fine with that.

Upon occasion, I used to use silicone on a whole job if there was movement present (usually exterior).You want the GE clear silicone....cheapest one...the rest are gimmicky.
