And you'll appreciate not getting sued (as often) and having your reputation tarnished by doing bad deals.Having your license is a good idea for one major reason: not getting investigated for unlicensed broker activity.

Hey guys,My name is Darron Coleman.

Onslow and others) have unofficial 'good' and 'bad' lists of contractors that they deal with.

The septic is bad and needs to be replaced on a property I am considering.

(For example, the dishwasher broke and the landlord literally told us 'you guys buy and replace it and I'll reimburse you' so I got a cheap one on craigslist for 25$...) and that's why @Onna-lisa Kyom is correct that maybe they would sell it for less because it needs so much work.

I would like to buy the property from the owner but don't want to offer a bad deal and in the process anger/offend the landlord.

Certainly going to need a local architect & General Contractor to put some pricing together for what you want on that one, there's lots of guys doing exactly that in the greater NYC market so I'm sure you'll be able to find one to assist.

Joseph's Coat are such phenomenal guys with great integrity.

What do you guys think?
