there are few other things but i will start with those, i rented my co-op for a while and it work out great :)i am in the bronx, we can talk sometime if you like.RegardsEva

for a newbie, planning to buy 4-6 rental apt building in the near future, actually looking, waiting to be sure the deal is good and will work out, Anyone have a opinion as to whether I should upgrade to pro or basic pro membership?

It sounds like a good deal but maybe properties in that area sell for under $30k routinely.

You'll get hung up on, laughed at, have doors shut in your face etc... but at the end of the day as long as you've researched thoroughly and know your numbers it will work out.

Side note:@Pete Nater how did your indy turnkey property work out?

With 2nds, many times we'll get a workout negotiated post FC sale, or we'll just rent it out, with us paying the 1st as a subject-to, or without paying the 1st and keeping the rent until the 1st forecloses, it's a business decision at that point.Best,Dave VH

The maintenance may not be a big thing because it sounds like you are looking to help them out and you would be compensated monthly so I would expect the routine activities would be covered.

It's probably a waste of time to even bother asking the seller to carry, it would be just crazy if they would work out some terms that would work for both of you.

The kitchen is a high traffic area, and we have three dogs that give it a good workout every day.
