Houses were selling over-asking with "LVP", pre-fab cabinets and drywall islands, lol.When we build a house (even in my dinky little county) the AD shows up as soon as it's dried in.There are also a lot, and I mean a lot, of people who think that filling out the AD's questionnaire about their home's value and that having a high appraised tax value is good for their property's value overall.

Likewise fully operating a vacation rental property in the mountains, or an island remotely is more enjoyable on paper and forums than in actuality. 

I went to dental school in Buffalo and since moving back to Long Island, I have had an interest in maybe doing long-distance REI in Buffalo from here. 

I have a property in Staten Island: 2bd 1 ba 1,000sq ft.

Housing off-island of Montreal is more budget-friendly than on-island.

CA tenant law requires the landlord to provide temporary housing (like a hotel) when the property is uninhabitable and it wasn't the tenant's causing.

My suggestions, take it or leave it, cause I see you are in Staten Island and I know the entry point for that market is insanely high, but there are plenty of markets where you can be into a deal all in for 30k: That's down payment, closing costs, insurance, holding costs, and kicking start money to the contractor. 

There were still dust and cobwebs; the Roman shade they had fixed was left on the kitchen island.

We've created a little island and people have really been connecting and are hanging out together around the firepit .

For example, my lease states that if the  “Premises are totally or partially damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake,accident or other casualty that render Premises totally or partially uninhabitable, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Agreement by giving the other written notice.”
