However, I moved to Texas from New York City....so if you really do live there, that philosophy would be impossible. 

Hoping anyone inor works in New York can point me towards a good title company or attorney, that is reliable.

Then, you will have to sell the property to restore your entitlement.Many PMs are also investor-friendly agents so doing both could be a good way to start.

I hired a plumber to fix the drain and such so that was handled and they suggested that we get a restoration guy out there to look at it.

While you can invest out of state, I believe that most investors not in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles are likely to do well in their local markets (and even those markets can be good if you have the means to invest in them and a strong thesis). 8) I don't like crypto - I don't see how it can produce cash flow, and how it is anything other than currency speculation.

You may fair better by looking for a CPA within New York State.The fact that you keep good records of your books is good as CPA's normally like organized clients.If the LLC is a single member LLC, there is a good chance that it will be considered a disregarded entity.Best of luck to you in your search for a CPA.

We used the Kilz Restoration on the last one and the results were great.

I admit I was not pleased to see a $3000 expense on the financial statement but then I realized that I would have had to spend the whole day arranging everything, listening to the tenant complaining, and probably paid more if I could even find a plumber to same day, tunnel under the slab, repair the pipe and restore everything.

If so they may want you to restore to the original that was there.

But you are in new york and the tenant pool will eat you alive.
