You may need to register as a foreign entity, file a tax return, and pay taxes in PA.

The loan doesn't decide its lien position the order in which voluntary liens (mortgages) are files determine that. 2.

I admire that you've handled most of the filings yourself, but I’d prefer to take a more hands-off approach.

I don't want to have to file separate franchise statements.

I found this fact sheet which seems to indicate it would be possible to evict the rent stabilised tenants so long as they haven't been living there for more than 15 years or are older than 62 or disabled: https://hcr.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2020/10/fact-sheet... 

After looking through the court files, I'm starting to believe CM may be as much of a patsy as the victims in this.

Review the quality of the tenant base (do they have a history of paying on time, what were the original screening criteria, do they have applications on file).

I've done deed searches and look at different documents filed.

Everywhere has seen huge jumps, sure areas like FL, AZ, UT, etc saw a large spike but you invested 15 years ago in Chicago.

Metro areas in AZ for that matter are along the same lines.
