Now NYS Tax liens & IRS Liens are a whole different animal.

You want rent to not put too much pressure on their business model to succeed and thrive.Since there are apartments  upstairs the commercial tenant likely only pays a percentage if any of ongoing repairs and the apartment tenants generally pay nothing.It is therefore key to scope the sewer to the street, see when the parking lot was last re-coated and re-striped, check how many layers on the roof,etc.If to many layers insurance will not write a policy on the building.

Does anyone on this forum not accept emotional support animals based on the fact that they own less than 4 rental homes?

While every piece of real estate is a simple investment decision for most of us here, yours is a different animal for a couple of reasons.

I can't give a number based on units or doors, since I'm doing a blend of SFRs and multifamilies and they are different animals.

@Bill BriscoePersonally I allow animals.

My goal for real estate investing is to get out of the rat race and start my own animation and video game studio.

With STR being a newer animal for places that haven't traditionally been resort areas, municipalities are trying to figure out how to deal with them.

To be fair it was a 3k sf house with very bright paint colors that required multiple coat's but the 1st guy didnt even give me a bid becuase it was too small of a job and the 2nd guy was 14k plus 5k for carpet for lowes theres 20k right there.  

If you're looking for the quickest fixes that will make it most marketable, I'd say a fresh coat of paint and some new floors!
