Hope to speak soon,Nate

The owner on title was deceased which led me to speaking with the owner’s ex-wife and two grown children.

trials and tribulations of the sub 1000 a month renter.. its never ending .. never will end and will always be a roller coaster.you can get the good one.. but generally speaking these are life long renters.. 

Generally speaking 1% cash flow is pretty normal here.

Yes, I plan to speak to an attorney for any specific nuances for my state. 

It turns out, I am responsible for everything until a court order is given for the estate.If the girlfriend stays in jail and can't get anyone to remove her stuff after the parents have removed what they're entitled to, I still have to go to court to get an order to state I can remove her stuff and I have to have a sheriff present to do so.

Speak to an attorney or CPA.

Could he say No the first time and refuse to speak to me any time after that?

@Swaroop Chowdary devineni   First step is to speak with a lender, find out your current situation. 

There are opportunities to house hack just outside of the city or in the Bronx, where you can still find affordable (relatively speaking) housing - jsut with a bit of an extra commute.Thanks for the tip on calling banks and credit unions - will do this.
