Before filing such a complaint with DHCR for breach of the warranty, the tenant must communicate in writing with the landlord about the problem.

Keep communication open and expand your search radius for additional opportunities.Good luck!

Hello, I am not sure if this is in the correct place to post this.

welcome to bp, your sentiment around leverage is 100% correct, and I'd challenge you to follow your own advice and use that leverage to put as little as possible into the real estate rather than the coveted "pay cash for it" or while one can pay cash, utilizing your w2 to refinance is a unique skill and ability you can have.house hacking in the mid west is where its at for sure.

What is the best way to communicate with you?

@Steve Babiak correct! 

You need to communicate ..  

But what you’re encouraging is that when I am 23, I should use the first 4 or so years just building a portfolio of LTR’s and then when I am 27, look into leveraging STR’s to meet the “Real Estate Professional Status” and “Material Participation” the IRS outlines, correct? 

Appreciation is the most attractive thing about the miramar and destin market if you buy the correct property!

. - appraisal could come back subject to corrections. - unless you get some whacko judge, there should not be any issue collecting rent on unpermittted unit, having a move-out cost (no fault eviction) in excess of the standard rent control or eviction process in excess of standard rent control hurdles.
