Similarly to what Mark Cruse stated above, provide dignified housing, respect your tenants, and either have a good PM or make sure you are updated on the regulations and best practices for placing tenants.  

Slight Update: After speaking with more BP members, I’m increasingly leaning toward making my first purchase in New York—a 4-unit rental property where I’d be my own landlord.

Only at the end of day on Thursday, January 2, Taylor sent us an email asking us to request new updated closing letters, causing us confusion.

@Ricardo Guzman-Hernandez your PMC should be able to provide you copies of court notices and other supporting paperwork.You can also Google the court - many now have a website where they post case updates.

Update to anyone following this thread. 

To streamline design choices, create a design guide or "mood board" beforehand to stay consistent with finishes that match the neighborhood's expectations.For monitoring progress, a property manager can sometimes oversee construction, but it’s typically better to rely on the GC for updates.

Update, confirmed with the city and it is legitimate if the property is in the name of the LLC, and the LLC is grandfathered in before restrictions were put into place.

If not they could spend money and time and offend buyers if they update the property incorrectly.There are other options, such as landlording.

Would love to hear an update on your progress @Bree Jimenez  did you move forward on a project?
