Meanwhile, the PAID tenant advocates are riling up the voter base and thus the legislators with their biased messaging and agenda.People are leaving NYS in droves, so if you think that's a myth, you are either reading the governor's propaganda or just ignorant. 

Its very hard to protect yourself when you are bird dogging (bandit signs, d4d etc and passing the info to someone else) for someone because even if you sign some sort of contractual agreement, its worthless if you cannot afford to enforce it.

If it's on public property, it's the responsibility of law enforcement.

If held for 10+ years you get all of the benefits of the legislation and as you said, all of your gains would be wiped out if sold (actual language is that your basis is increased to the FMV of the property on the date of sale).

But we will be doing a little more due diligence to give them the list from auction.com the liens exceptions list,"Most liens are removed after a foreclosure property sale, but certain liens may remain.Here are some examples:Any lien recorded on title prior in time to the foreclosing mortgage.First Mortgage (if the foreclosing mortgage is a second or third mortgage)HOA or COA assessment liens (in certain states)Mechanic’s Liens (in some states)Government liens such as state and federal tax liens, city or county liens, US Government liens.IRS liens (IRS may buy the property within 120 days after sale at the price paid at foreclosure sale)Code Enforcement Liens, Environmental Liens, and Utility LiensChild Support Liens" to make sure that any title insurance policy will have coverage for these, was this how it worked for you a year ago?

Of course, enforcement is not always practical as you can't be there all the time.I mostly control occupant count by parking spaces. 

Knowing that I have accepted partial rent payment, Can I or Can't I post and enforce a  "# Day Notice To Pay Rent or Vacate" ? 

This is not enforceable.

I am contemplating legal action against both the neighbor for trespassing on my property and continuously crossing my land without my permission and also legal action against the railroad for not enforcing their no tolerance policy on their right of way.     

They are obligated to tell you the truth but only if you ask.3) Reading up on local legislation, so you know if something in the market is shifting.
