Your options are different if you buy it in your own name vs. an LLC.I like credit unions, because they are member owned (in comparison to private or publicly owned) and often have lower fees.

There is no MLS for NYC, Streeteasy is the name of the game and it's public-facing and free for users (not free for agents).

I'm hoping to also include seller assisst to reduce my out of pocket costs too which i'm sure is a negative!

@Sergio Aguinaga There used to be books in the public library on “selling your house fsbo.”

I agree with @Alina Trigub in that you should refrain from mentioning on a public forum how much money you have to invest. 

It's worth around 309,900 but due to some bad luck (Carpet delivery had bad carpet so we had to wait again) we missed the window for back to school to list the house and it's been sitting on the market for a couple weeks with a ton of showings but no offers (Williamson County is one of the top public school districts in the country). 

He handled our refinance smoothly even reducing our interest from 5.5% to 5.375%.

you are better off reducing your offer price by $3600 ($300*12 months) to account for the loss in rent.

You can reduce the rent to comply.  

City of Cincinnati will usually reduce the ticket by half if you clean it up and send a picture.
