Let me know exactly what you need.

The owners of the other adjacent home have been on an extended vacation (and have left their air conditioning set to 85 Fahrenheit).A few weeks ago, my tenants called me saying that their AC can't maintain setpoint--I assured them that this is normal as both demising walls are currently exposed to elevated temperatures.

It seems that unless it’s in rough condition and I make a very lowball, borderline-unrealistic offer, the numbers aren’t gonna work.I’m sort of torn because I have an amazing deal on my rent-stabilized one-bed here in Ridgewood, Queens.

It is a 3 bed, 2 bath in very good (move-in ready) condition with a driveway, good sized front and backyards and in a nice, up-and-coming neighborhood, just across the street from a beautiful community park.

The side my mom lives in is in fine liveable condition.

I am looking at a property on HubzuWhat does this exactly mean?

Depends on what exactly you're looking for - what strategy.

I do not know the condition of the house but if you have to fully renovate a 2,500 sqft house with all new flooring, exterior package, etc I don't see this being enough unless you plan for sweat equity.  

Sounds like you want him out now and money motivates a lot of people.Make it contingent on the condo being in good condition and professionally cleaned so that the expectation is set before handing him over any money.

What exactly is your goal in investing.
