We have an excellent REIA based on Long Island where we host local meetups and workshops.

For future referece, if there's an issue that makes the property uninhabitable, you should put your tenant up in a hotel or airbnb wihle it's getting fixed and they still pay you rent according to your lease.

I think I should transfer my properties into a LLCAnyone in the Long Island, NY areas that can chip Knowledge onto how to take advantage on the equity of my properties( ex.

C1 - New ConstructionC2 - Newly Renovated, very good conditionC3 - Your average condition HouseC4 - CrapholeC5 - Uninhabitable

@Elmo Dasalla the creature of Jekyll island.

Does anyone know any small lenders in Long Island that specialize in things like this?

This is all going to depend on your lease and your state laws..... long term vs short term.... contingency for making the unit "uninhabitable" for other tenants Post up any detail about your lease since those detail are going to be important to consider your options
