I made great progress with One of my closest friends and business partner @Andre Elston whom I shared a business with.

All with the help of free legal aid while you pay to defend yourself.While it’s great that your tenants either doesn’t care or are not informed about this, this should be something to consider for your own protection in the future.

Renting the rooms and possibly tying in services for a part time aid (visiting angels) and meal delivery services (local grocery or Uber Eats).

To aid them in that I send them a very detailed list of set-up instructions. 

I figure having at least one property under my belt would aid me in building those relationships.

By expat, I understand they are non-US xitizanes (from what you aid), but they are LPR (legal permanent residents), which means that they will have to eventually pay taxes here (they may have not filed them yet if this is their first year in the US).

Planning for financial aid eligibility, including disability, college, etc.In other words, you will be paying more taxes every year in exchange for gaining protection against possible future calamities or eligibility for some government benefits.All of these are more complicated when you plan to combine your money for future investments, so you may want to run it by a family attorney experienced in your state law.

It was only temporarily re-opened due to 9/11 as that was the closest place to put all the rumble from the Towers which was later sifted through looking for remains.The city was in such a mess that many people wanted Rudy to stay in place for the benefit of the city as the attacks happened so close to his leaving the office.Rudy even crossed party lines in his recommendation for Democratic Governor Cuomo over the Republican candidate who later went on to win the election, showing that he publicly and privately truly gave his opinion and support without worrying about partisan motives doing what he believed best for his constituents.These were just some of the positive things that Rudy did for NYC.Keep in mind that Rudy was mayor of a city that on any given business day had over 8 million people in it as many workers would commute daily from PA, NJ, and CT to work mostly in Manhattan.
