There's also a "Manual S" for equipment selection, and a "Manual D" for ductwork calculations.If you talk to a company that knows what these are and how to do them properly you're probably talking to one of the elite companies.

For me personally, seeing that the investments all get D-F ratings compared with corporate bonds, doesn't really help me weed out or choose.

Hi Everyone, I hear large buy & hold investors classify a rental property by a class (A,B,C,D) all the time.

Among the changes he said he'd like to see is the ending of vacancy decontrol, which lets apartments out of rent regulation when the rent goes over $2,500 and a tenant moves out, and scrapping the 20% rent hike landlords are allowed to make every time a tenant leaves.But with the Senate Republicans balking, Cuomo last week said he expects the current law might simply be extended as is and is trying to tie the issue to passage of an education investment tax credit designed to mainly benefit parochial and private schools and their donors.Mayor de Blasio on Friday said it would be the “end to New York City as we have known it” if the state fails to renew the rent laws.Cuomo in his letter agreed, saying it “would create mayhem and chaos for both tenants and landlords and would roil the entire real estate industry.”To avoid even a temporary lapse, the Assembly on Friday night introduced a bill that would give state leaders more time to negotiate a deal by extending the existing rent laws by two days.Meanwhile, a group of more than 40 Assembly Democrats sent a letter to Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) urging the end of an affordable housing tax credit program for developers that is also set to expire on Monday if the rent laws are not extended and “very substantially strengthened.”

If you´re single, I´d recommend a tactic commonly mentioned here on BP, and that is to buy a multi-family property to start investing and lower your own living costs (potentially living for free).
