The OP needs to create a list as accurate as possible that shows the down payment, exact current income,  property insurance, property tax, mortgage payment, trash removal, Owner electric meter, water, natural gas for water heater if there is an owner's water heater for all the units or for a laundry room, trash removal, sewer use fees, annual city business license, if any, annual fire department inspection fee, if any, Housing Department inspection fee, if any, expected repairs and upgrades within the first year, cost to clean, paint and repair the vacant apartment(s) and any other costs you can think of and then I, or someone will put those numbers in our number cruncher and see how you come out.

Your OP indicates you want to be kind to the tenant by avoiding a court filing and eventual eviction.  

Note: The OP had an accepted offer on the house 3 days ago if I'm not mistaken......

But I didn't think that was case in the OP's scenario.

- YouTubeNot that the printing slowed down any in 2021 for this and that stimulus, death benefit, etcBut where is it heading and what does that mean for folks' $100K co-op apt etc they're now paying $2K/mo for maintenance and being taxed based on being 'worth' millions now each?

@Josiah PerezYou obviously didn’t tell the OP what he wanted to hear so he closed his account.

Separately, I'm looking at a co-op in the Fort Greene market, it's appreciated a lot over the last few years - but wondering if there is room for more, or if 2% a year in my model is too conservative

I think this can help clarify things for the OP and many others.

I believe all 3 markets the op listed are likely to be good RE markets.  

Luckily, right now, the selling isn't hard but most everything else is.In the OP you asked about wholesalers.
