I feel as though a stair canopy may be a little much, especially if the area you live in doesn't receive a lot of harsh winter conditions like snow and hail.

I work for an engineering consulting firm doing plant design in the oil refining/chemical plant industry.  

Harsh yes, but you aren't going to change this relationship dynamic, easier for all parties to just start fresh. 

Yes, Long Island is a bit harsh and I do think I'd be able to start off better out of state.

It's in Wyoming where the winters are harsh.

Although, I would imagine Section 8 is similar if not more harsh.

North Korea has 10,000 drones capable of carrying chemical and biological agents that could be released from a submarine off the coast of L.A. or San Francisco.

I use Chemical Bank and they just have me send them my HELOC statement that shows the available balance.

this may sound harsh but if you don't know the answer you shouldn't have rented it out in the first place.Know your state landlord tenant laws.Rental business has highs and lows and income will vary if tenants don't pay rent and units are vacant due to evictions, or maintenance down time, or if unit is down between tenants.. if you can't afford at least a 5% loss in income on a property you shouldn't consider it as a business you can afford to be in.

They have really harsh code enforcement and building inspectors which make it difficult to build.
