My realtor suggested offering it amortized over 30 years with a 15 year balloon, as that what she sees her other investors doing: focus on the cash flow, then when the 15 years is up, do a cash out refi, exchange, or sell to move into something bigger or better.

I am wanting to leave my day job and replace it with a job that will give me good experience that can be applied to investing.

My grandmother lived there for many years when I was growing up (I always think of the massive shark head store there), but I don’t think even she would have predicted how much it would rise.

I'm not in NYS, but in WA you can google the law and find what is required.Going off the top of my head here for WA:Deliver a copy personally to the tenant.If the tenant is absent, by leaving a copy with someone of suitable age and discretion at the rental unit AND mailing a copy.If neither of the above are possible, by posting a copy on a conspicuous place on the premises, handing a copy to any person living there, AND mailing a copy.There's also a form that goes along with notifying them.

There is one available on the OREC website.

To my knowledge, Terrebonne moved to online since May of this year.
