Is saying or how harsh it might sound, but honestly he is a lot closer to the truth than you.  

You're talking just like the college students who went on vacations and to parties because YOLO who cares we know the risks and it doesnt seem that bad, but maybe I'm being harsh.

I can definitely see the very tenant friendly NYS considering something like a harsh winter being a cause for delay.

Account Closed Quite un-necessarily harsh to a newbie looking for advice...  

I have a lot of respect for your words because you often times speak harshly, but also take the time to explain why.

If you know the area and expect to live there, I would strongly urge you to explore your local markets where the rents will be much higher, the tenant profile similar and will not have harsh winter weather beating your investments (roofs, furnaces, etc. are very expensive to replace).   

Plus, if it's near the coast, there is a lot of harsh, wet weather - so mold is real up there. 

@Brent Coombs thanks yeah if they don't want to make repairs or drop price I intend on walking away but since this is my first deal wanted to ask because my wife tells me I can be a little harsh most the time lol.

I re-read my post above, and I apologize for sounding so harsh.  

You have no leg to stand on as far as being harsh if the place is trashed - because you just signed a new lease with this guy.So, picture ending up in court and the judge asking you why you signed a new lease with some guy who trashed your house?
