Hey BP,As a Canadian if I were to buy a property in the USA am I legally allowed to repair/work on it myself?

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

Is this even legal for them to do (we've been told it sounds sketchy and that they are trying to "double dip") and what is the best way to address this?

When it comes to legal matters and tenant rights, do not seek advice from anyone other than an attorney.

If you're licensed, you could legally collect a real referral fee.

Hello,I went to get pre approved at the bank today and I qualified for FHA.

Do not rely on it for legal advice.

He is not naive, he is reckless.Can he legally do so?

It cant be done legally

One thing I don't like about doing this in NY is that most NY laws are more tenant-friendly than landlord-friendly and that is a concern for me since I personally saw my grandmother trying to evict someone from her apartment and that process taking well over 2 years and thousands of dollars in legal expenses.
