I went back for a vacation and saw that they have a nice big beautiful road leading into it so traffic should be less obnoxious.

Are traffic counts increasing on the streets around your subject property or decreasing?

You can tell a lot about a contractor by how clean and organized the site is and the quality of the subs a well.

It's all about time allotment and organization.

I would recommend connecting with Larry Smet who I believe organizes a meet up once a month.

I would consider working with a broker...Most good agents will come to give you consultation for free...and a good one can really help.I own a small coop unit I rent on the UES...used to do it all myself...then met an agent through a common friend who made a great impression very friendly and professional...let him handle the turnover of my apartment and he managed to get me about 15% increase of the monthly rent...When I was doing my open houses I would always got a trickle of people come by...he managed to get 30 people in the door on his 1st open house and 3 application within the week...What I came to realize is that good agents manage to drive much more foot traffic and create a sense of urgency for buyers/renters...In my case he got in a professional photographer who made the place shine...If you DM I can send you his contact...but any good agent from one of the reputable companies in Manhattan can give you a good advice.If your coop allow you to sublet for a year I would seriously consider doing so (If it cover holding cost)...Fall-Winter is the worst season to be on the market...if you can have the place rented and then put it on the market around March-April you might be in a better position...again best to consult few good Manhattan agents.
