We had one place that seemed like it was permeated with a bad smell and snaking the main cured the problem. 

@kevinpolite It's in okay condition, it's centralized heating and air, there are tenants currently in it; Just needs mainly a cosmetic lift.

On top of that though the main reason is I handle so many listings I have no need to work that type of business.

The main idea here is: there are deals are out there to be made.

They do but if a plane comes over my house the are in trouble....The airport maps noise which is the main reason for airport issues. 

Question for anyone who's used Amica to write policy's on more than one property.Our current setup, has unique policys on each SFH.I'm toying with moving to one main policy from Amica, with each SFH as a extended policy on it.Cost savings, is over $800 per property if I go the Amica route.However they only cover structure on these policy's.Here in Florida, having gone thru last year.

Hey My name is Steph, I am interested in my first real estate investment to be a multi-family in NY state mainly Rockland County.

With that out of the way please read on.This idea is designed to do 3 things:Increase revenueDecrease expenses(Mainly for A/B class properties) Make your building more appealingI would love to get some feedback from Investors/property managers before I start talking with investors in my area about it. 

One of the main highlights is meant to be the large outdoor biergarten.

I doubt it allows for 2 units (it’s probably SFH.) assuming that, you can’t make it 2 legal units (adding an ADU is different, as I don’t think you’re allowed to take space from the main house for the ADU- it’s usually added sq footage.) and even if it allows for 2 legal units you may have to add a second parking spot, separate utility services (read: expensive and a PITA to install.)So the simple plan is to basically do the minimum work needed, as you describe, without permits just to separate the 2 living spaces out.
