Roomies it was within days but I can't speak to the quality of the prospective tenant as they were slower to show up to view and FF I had a commitment quickly.

Other neighborhoods like Astoria’s southern neighbor, Long Island City (LIC), Brooklyn’s Williamsburg & Dumbo, and the Bronx’s Mott Haven have seen similar patterns.With the rising cost of homeownership and growing popularity, prospective property owners in this iconic neighborhood are understandably drawn to two-family residences during their home search.

If you find a good prospect and you want to place them, I would even recommend 1st month free if they sign a lease today.

Hello Jim,Evaluating prospective tenants who do not have a traditional credit score can be challenging but still feasible, and I appreciate your fairness. - Some credit bureaus and services (like Experian RentBureau or Esusu Rent) offer alternative credit reports that include rent payment history, utility payments, and other recurring bills.

Sounds like pricing might be turning off some prospective buyers. 

You can send message to prospective tenants.

I find it’s usually radio silence from prospective tenants like this when they are pressed on actually having a disability requiring an ESA. 

She is willing to sign on as the main tenant which means she is responsible for the apartment. my thoughts thinking out loud:the other prospective tenants have income issues so at least in this case I know the rent will be paid. the mother has pretty significant assets (low 6 figures + another 6 figures from sale of the house) if he destroys the property I could go after her for it right?

I had about 1 million cash to invest, didn’t want to take a loan, and always purchase in one coastal mid Atlantic area where I have connections, know the market, and growth prospects are strong.  

The NAR Settlement doesn't mean buyer agents won't get paid, it just means they need to be more transparent about it.Like others have said, your best bet to purchase with lower fees and overall better price is to prospect and find motivated sellers.
