I am literally waiting for POF from a buyer right now (in your price point) because the seller wants to see POF to cover the down payment in order to accept an offer.In your appraisal contingency, put a shorter date than the 10 days prior to close. 

If you and your real estate professional agree in writing to end the agreement before the end date, the agreement immediately ends.

We're planning to roll-in a custom mobile app for the building to give tenants control of their own smart devices while allowing management to easily reset permissions and remove access on tenant move-out.Have you ever tinkered with Tuya smart devices? 

It’s a service landlord offers a nice clean up to date place to live and makes repairs in a timely fashion.

The seller's attorney is also wanting due diligence days, earnest money amount, closing date and other special stipulations.

Might be 30 to 90 days after closing, so this pads your date some more.If you find a winner, maybe it is fully occupied and you live in NYC until your lease expires, then move into the property.Lastly, even if the landlord is a jerk and you have to pay ~6 months of rent, when you are 80 and a millionaire from your real estate journey, will that 15k(?)

Everything is in working order, it’s just extremely dated, as in nothing has been updated since around the 40s-50s.

Specific dates.

Besides using the MLS (like a realtor or an appraiser) what apps or sites do you use to find comps to determine your ARV?

I own several “pairs” of properties on the same street with identical sf and build dates with very different taxes.
