Though it's improving, I cannot say that I'd pay $420k for a 4-unit that doesn't even have central air and is right by MLK. 

It will prevent damage from moving furniture in/out and your target market probably doesn't have any furniture to move, anyway.

If you have a decent air compressor grab a hvlp and spray away.Clean w dawn, rinse, wipe, scuff, prime, 2x coat.

STEPHEN  , I was thinking of investing there  also  , my wife has family  there , we go about  3 times a year   , great city with a lot of tourist  ,  Air Force Base / Army base , maybe  a Toyota manufacturing plant  ,  the city is tricky  on areas  , i would drive around the area and ask  the locals  on the area you are looking at  , great locations and then some , not so great  , but it is divided   , i am sure it will pay off  , Good Luck ! 

There are environmental policies that can cover third party claims for property damage and bodily injury.

Air BnB did not exist.

I put this in another post but will post it here as well - Please write your senator (and assembly person) letting them know the damage this will do to your real estate business.Below is a letter that I have emailed to my representatives as well as to all of the co-sponsors of the bill (note - I have deleted my numbers in the letter below) - I am a small-time landlord (total of ___ properties consisting of a total of ___ units) and the majority of the income that I live on comes from my rental properties.

She also pointed out the part in her lease that says the landlord is liable for damage caused by her own negligence, and leaving candles unattended and not keeping smoke alarms in operable condition would certainly cover that.

Started in South East Asia and worked our way through Europe and now I'm in Buenos Aires waiting for the virus to die down back in my hometown of NYC (not necessarily looking to live in NY/NJ area).

Like I said... most LL's WILL allow a Tenant to break lease if they can not afford rent... majority of Tenants will however not move out... living expenses come due one way or the other... again they don't just disappear into thin air.
