@John Kent Yeah, I initially started out on BiggerPockets with the mindset that a partnership with someone who would financially help me was sound, but now that I've been researching around and reading some suggested books I'm contemplating the whole deal over again. 

A few thoughts: -Make sure your tenant understands that she needs to utilize the police if she feels threatened or feels that she has been assaulted.

This is sort of a weird question but bear with me......I work for a builder and am also an investor on one of our projects - we do new construction spec builds in higher end areas usually between 1M-2M......we've been sitting with our house a little longer then we expected at this point - we dropped the price 70,000 from the initial listing price and am contemplating our next move if we don't get bites in the next couple weeks....my question is how much of a drop is worthwhile?

In this context, I am contemplating forming partnership with American citizens with good credit scores so that we can buy multifamily properties together with only 20% down payment.

If there is a police report about the assault and a conviction or a guilty plea, Alabama law says it is a non-curable default if there has been a criminal assault. 

I am contemplating creating an LLC to hold the property in and would like to hear from other fellow NY state investors.  

We are contemplating hiring Evolve for only 3 months to help us with the initial startup phase (housekeeper and maintenance contacts, setting up the rental description, photos, initial rates, etc etc) until we get our feet wet.

I imagine the only other “slam dunk” evictions would be a drug bust in the property or something similar, or if you have a security camera showing clear proof of violations (like an unauthorized “guest” living in unit and coming and going on a daily basis, damage to property, assault…etc).You can call witnesses (typically other tenants or neighbors) but they must show up in court as no “hearsay” is admissible.

I've got a handful of properties now but I don't think I need anymore and therefore am at the stage where I'm contemplating how to exit.
