I need a solid plan to present first.I'm interested in building wealth through small multi-family homes, starting with a house hack in Philadelphia.

I as a resident of NYC for about 50 years AND a Landlord of small buildings (4 Family and below) have a couple of insights in regards to comments made about NYC.FIRST, the article does sight some important issues in regards to regulated apts where the family unit was large and then, over time, reduced to a very small size.

You want to present yourself professional, very freindly and approachable, yet firm to your lease and policy.

I personally stay away from short sales because of the uncertainty they present.

I know the 1 year rule but I was wondering if it gets as specific as to how many days present.

@Anthony Wick There are a lot of great comments from the Professionals regarding your concerns, and although I can't speak with the industry experience they can, I share in your frustration with my own experiences.

And for those who refuse to change, 2019 is going to present a problem… a big problem.Drones, Millennial buyers, third-party listing websites, and virtual tours make it increasingly difficult for stubborn agents and investors to increase revenue.

That was a hassle because I had to be present for some reason... outside of that, it has felt more like an extra set of eyes inspecting my property than big brother mandating needless repairs.

It's true that in the Hi-Desert some properties are very remote and may present an additional challenge.
