I imagine its a lot of work and not something you can just do quickly or easily - especially in New York. 

We're close to the finish line on an out of state BRRRR project; since most of the BRRRR chatter is from people that are thinking about it or people that have something to sell (looking at you, Ohio crew), I'd thought that I'd share a realistic perspective. 

As an overseas investor, I've been carefully evaluating different options and have narrowed down to a particular buy box that I'd like to share with you all for your insights and opinions.

I'd be glad to have you as a power partner.

It is beautiful, but not sure if I'll go that route again.For a rental, I'd go granite.

If I had been more willing to use leverage at the beginning I'd be a whole lot richer right now. 

Any contractor you get I'd recommend giving them the notice from the City so they can chase down the issues and/or see what all is needed from the City.

I'd ask your engineer that question and say you honestly want to know (Hanlon's Razor) if he dropped the ball on this one or if he had a reason not to call/email DOT before pushing your final design through permitting.It sounded like he expected the possibility that DOT may flag the project and had a plan to respond. 

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on how to refine my strategy, especially since I'm limited to using text blasts due to my schedule and budget.Thanks for your help!

That being said, I’d be a bit suspicious that owner has not modified the rent price with an amendment over the past two years.
