FYI if you have legal lots, you may not NEED any discretionary processing through the City and can deed them off without a discretionary review.

@Marque A Clark no you can run a business as a "Sole Proprietor"  Basically that means your business is not legally separate from you.

hi Melida. i currently own a 2 family in the bronx and also bought i using an FHA loan. i purchased a home that was being sold FSBO. he agreed to drop the price 15k off the bat since he was saving the agents comission. i just used an attorney provided by my employers pre paid legal benefit. no agents were used. i am biased but i think the Fordham/Jerome area is a great area to invest.

Is this legal?
