Once you file a permit, does it automatically trigger NYC Finance to come visit and assess your home for property taxes?

Personally, I give no weight to a Zestimate "AT ALL" but I do use the recent sold, tax information, sales history, foreclosure, school ratings, etc... to make my assessment.

Tax assessed value is $168,200.  

I’m totally open to dropping the price even further, but now my confidence in my comp-assessing ability’s been shaken a little, lol.

Hi RamonI've been a broker in the metro Milwaukee area for 14 years, and in my opinion, based on what I've read, the new law absolutely will not delay closings, but in fact should speed them up in some areas, especially in communities like Shorewood that formerly had very comprehensive (and in some cases, expensive!)

Now though for various reasons we're in the same process you are looking for equity partners.What I've done is create a comprehensive overview of the project on slideshareDOTnet.

Tony,When you are looking at that price range with HOA fees just make sure that you understand all the sunk costs, turn over for that asset class, and potential assessments that you might be facing.   

What about taking a step back and re assessing your project list and budget with your new knowledge and info, then get back at it like an Alaskan and find a way to get it done, whether by duct tape, tarps, or recycled material. 

But I will be astonished if anything changes - too many don't read closely enough, and even when they read their comprehension falls short ...It's not just BP members.

But that shouldn’t stop you from investigating thoroughly and deciding which one works for you.I firmly believe that practically ANY market has investment potential as long as YOU are properly educated to assess the opportunity.
