@Lisa Alexander House hacking in Hudson County is a great way to break into real estate investing, especially in this current market environment with inflated home prices and ultra-low interest rates for owner-occupied properties.

A lot of that stuff taught in school students never use in real life unless they have specific professions that require it.There are programs on the market now in Excel where they have Macro's and you simply input numbers and solve for XX return.Residential is definitely less math intensive whereas commercial where value is mostly based off of calculations it is ultra important to have at least mastered the basics.  

I now use that same nozzle to clean the BBQ racks.I often wondered if the ultra sonic de-scaler we used in my days in the lab would have been more efficient.

The income stream isn't stable so cell tower lease buyers offer 20 cents on the dollar for the value of the lease and generally do not want to buy the land it sits on unless an ultra cheap price.You said an Urban area.

And some of these apartments are in the ultra safe highly affluent neighborhoods like chelsea, TriBeCa, upper west side. 

Most of my clients prefer non-recourse but these are high net worth (millions) to ultra high net worth ( over 25 million ) individuals.It's not about being confident in the purchase or not.

Our property management strategy emphasizes quality listings and being ultra responsive.

I can also be more aggressive on pricing in this ultra-competitive market.  

I would certainly insist on TSP cleaning before painting more than I would insist on primer.As I've stated before in previous posts, I tend to use Behr Ultra in my renovations.
