For someone who is 22 years old, has a good job, lives in Cleveland and doesn't want to retire for 25 years, my answer would be different than for someone who is 55 years old, is unemployed, lives in New York City and doesn't have much retirement.Also, things like experience, risk tolerance, creditworthiness, etc. plays a big part.Sorry I can't give specific advice...

But according to New York City Law, (NYC Administrative Code §28-301.1) I share responsibility for the maintenance of the wall.Is there any legal way to protect myself from being held liable for the failing wall as I would consider the situation entirely due to the negligence of the bank-owned property?

I am currently planning on staying in the NYC area while I start my career, save up capital and continue to educate myself on real estate, but eventually I would like to move out of New York to start investing somewhere more affordable.
