I personally never explored them much.

😜)Sometimes the money I bring may be enough to buy the whole place, sometimes it will be the deposit, but in either situation it makes it real.Second issue, Fear.The biggest fear I always encounter is the fear that the debt owed against the estate will somehow attach to him/her personally.I find articles from attorneys that most closely meet their situation and while explaining to them that, “unless they personally signed for the debt, they will never personally responsible for the debt.”

This is more a B- class neighborhood.I plan on doing a remodel of the kitchen including new countertops, range and hood, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher; the cabinets are actually in solid shape and hardwood so I would like to keep them, but they definitely need to be stained and will also be adding hardware on them.

That's a solid policy and you should stick with it.If a tenant wants to extend for less than a year, I only allow it with a 25% increase.

Can anyone recommend a solid attorney in New York (long Island) to review docs specifically leases??
