New construct and fresh rehabs all around.

Don't overthink it and just bake the solar lease into the rent.

Typical returns can be lower here due to high asset prices going-in, but asset prices are high because there is less of a risk premium baked into the valuations - ie. everyone knows that NYC is one of the most resilient and consistently performing markets year after year, so they're willing to pay a bit more and accept a bit less fundamental return on their money.  

You can start one "fresh" or rollover an old IRA or 401k plan (though not a ROTH) It does not require a "custodian", you administer the Trust yourself.

Negotiating from the start is tough because there is normally a lot of interest in a fresh, low value, listing.

It seems like it might be best to start fresh by hiring a new property manager, getting a third-party opinion on the home's value, and finding reputable help for determining what you can rent it out for.

You need to start fresh with a new tenant.

It’s about 20% under market and needs a new deck, fresh paint, and roof.

Most of the people who hire us either have multiple units or if its just a single unit or house they work full time and do not have the time nor inclination to track all of the details needed such as making sure the unit is properly cleaned between guests, managing stocking of supplies, changing remote batteries, keeping sheets and towels fresh and most important of all being available on a moments notice if there is a problem.The platforms like AirBnB weight the guest reviews very heavily in how your property is ranked so positive guest reviews are directly correlated with the amount of money the unit earns each month.But having said all that I would recommend managing yourself if you have the time and energy - it can actually be a lot of fun!

Tenants in place can be a good thing but, depending on your goals, you'll likely find there are more advantages to starting fresh without tenants in place.Best of luck!
