@Thomas WrightYou may benefit from attending a local real estate investing networking event in Brooklyn.More often than not - there will be a wide range of professionals attending the event form realtors/investors/lenders.If you connect with some well - you can exchange numbers and grab coffee/lunch.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Two years later, I had to buy a whole new floor because I installed it wrong.The lesson: Do yourself a favor and budget for hiring professionals to do your renovation work

Repairs done by a professional will be billed at the professional rate.Repairs done by Landlord will be billed by the job or as labor plus materials.

The bad part is that it was a conditional approval.
