@cWill Gaston has alot of college rentals he may have some experience.

From my experience I would avoid it as a seller unless I was getting a large down payment, a larger purchase price, or a higher than market interest rate. 

I've done it, and so I believe I can say something useful about it.You mention in your profile that you have 20 years of experience as a contractor.

Take photos of all damages, keep copies of all incident reports and communication records with your tenants, fire department, and insurance company.I would strongly consider working with a reputable public adjuster, especially for a claim of this size.

I have previous entrepreneurial experience.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Also, do you have photos and have you staged?

In my experience the fire wall between town homes is usually constructed using concrete block. 

In my experience, there are a lot of houses in Pittsburgh that need TLC and the initial closing cost are appealing, but a lot of those projects end up needing a huge cost in renovations and then once it goes back on the market, you're unable to get the value you need to make the profit you want.

Hi,Does any have experience with increasing the rent to the max allowed for an existing cithfheps NYC tenant?
