Their instructions/directions on using the site are fairly convoluted;  however I am still able to pull up L/T closed cases in 5 boroughs and Long Island, even though the directions (#3) if i'm reading correctly, say they are not reporting L/T cases for those areas.  

The responsible and prudent investor should be taking advantage of both.The key difference between these tools is in their goals.

Other people have already answered this, and I haven't read all the responses so I might repeat something, but I'd say #1 makes the most sense if paying cash upfront will get you the deal or a better deal than if you leveraged upfront.

You can perhaps add the business as a cosigner if needed, but ultimately you want the family on the lease because they are living there and if the employee gets fired, they are the ones responsible for rent. it is irrelevant to you who the rent comes from. if it was a company renting so they can put up different contractors they have to fly in and different people will be living there at different times, that would be a different setup.

We hold tenants responsible for the actions of their guests as well.

Keep the duty to pay rent separate from repair issues.This is not a situation that warrants anything more than a quick response to repair the problem. 

Jeremy England, Korey Rademacher, and Tchaka Owen.I am so excited I got a response.  

Or can i afford a "special assessment" for what ever reason the condo association needs one if i buy a condo.Good luck and take care.This is such a great response, thank you.

You should be able to do them all in a year or so.Thank you so much for the response...you pretty much confirmed my assumptions.

@Nicholas Zornek, I apologize, I just saw your response.
