I'll try to keep this briefNY State signed into law June 19th with immediate effect, massive sweeping state-wide rent control law with sweeping changes in landlord tenant law regarding: evictions, Leases, security deposits, holdovers, repairs, and essentially what you can and cannot do.This is very Pro tenant and took away substantial property rights.

Because parters essentially have to be "beneficiaries" rather than partners which is complex.

Essentially a full gut minus plumbing and electrical (as long as inspection is good but not ruling it out). 

I do know properties with prior si khole issue are essentially non insurance unless a certified remediation was done, which is very expensive.Perhaps just avoid those couple of areas where si knolls are more common.

Essentially, it is financial to stay for 6 more months.

Essentially, any time I can make something a LEGIT expense, I do it.

You took the easy way out - dealing with people already there, that had been essentially squatters - and it is coming home to roost.

Finding below market valued homes and rehabbing them, following by stabilizing with a tenant then refinancing to pull your money back out can essentially give you your initial capital back to reinvest and provide a few hundred dollars of cash flow ( in a “home run” scenario).

The building would essentially bring in another $3000 a month which translated to probably $1k cash flow.
