Anyway I'm from NYC and over here we use a superintendent to take care of garbage, cleaning and snow removal.

My tenant is awesome and I’d hate to lose him, but I keep receiving notices from the condo board stating the dog in my unit is not allowed and must be removed.

I feel prices are so macro in the city that just by decreasing some vacant properties on a single street can have huge effect.

The owner of the property can easily remove the cloud on the title by initiating a quitclaim deed or via a quiet title proceeding.

Hello Folks,We're considering removing our requirement for tenants SSN's to be on our lease documents.

This tenant asked me to remove this clause before his lease renewal. 

We request that the seller have a survey done and try and have the property removed from the flood zone.

Unfortunately, they don’t pay for the things they miss, they have a line in their contracts that removes them from responsibility.

Also factor in grounds maintenance, which depending on your area may include snow removal and/or lawn care and landscaping (this can run a few hundred dollars a month depending on the size of the property).I always ask sellers for their P&L statements for the last 2 years which should show any major repairs and expenses.Regarding financing I think you nailed it and should look for more traditional financing elsewhere assuming you qualify.

The appraisal just came back and we were told that although the property is zoned for multifamily, the MIL does not meet legal set back and is effectively on the property line.
