Also, issues occur with students from time to time and it is very difficult getting any sort of compensation should something happen as most work part-time student jobs.It can be done, but it's the hard route.

If my friend and I go in on this together, what do you think would be the best route?

The NYC finance number robo-routed me to 311 (NYCs general info number), and I was truly assuming that it was a lost cause.

Others are fine with higher risk so they go that route.

If you are doing your due diligence to determine what you can and cannot do re utilities, I strongly recommend that you do not reach out to the local PM (if you go that route) but ask a supervisor in the city you are dealing with that handles utilities.

If they're vastly greater, maybe you should pursue that route instead.Having more mouths to feed on one side of the equation doesn't mean that side gets a bigger piece of the pie unless that side is bringing actual measurable value to the deal.

Those that go this route go to med school first, then law school

I like that route because I really want to refinish and keep the original floors.  

A nearby intersection would help a lot.

@Brandon Hall, OK, I knew you were going to go that route since we'd already talked a bit.
