I won’t be surprised if I see a box for a new 70 inch TV and Micro wave in the trash this week N.Y is such a landlord unfriendly state , even worse since tenant friendly laws were enacted this past June.

You could but we will hunt you down and beat you within an inch of your life.... heh JK you could but some will never show it and you may get a bad name and some agents will never take you seriously (Unless it is common in that area to see those numbers based on sales price).

I invest in the Steubenville, OH/Wheeling, WV area.

There's also 2 feet of mold a few inches high showing signs of previous water accumulation on the floor.

The crack raised one part of the driveway more than 2 inches. 

16x28 slab in the back of the property that I "Fixed" now its a 8 inch monolithic slab with rebar and 1/8th inch wire for a foundation for a Attachable ma and pa unit.

San Antonio, because of the military, built their roads system in the shape of a wagon wheel with major interstate and highways feeding our downtown area.What this has caused is having the ability to live where you want to live as you can travel to pretty much every major employment district within 20 minutes without having to fight much traffic.

This included new 4x6 beams and we raised the house a total of 8 inches to allow for access for the remodel and future crawlspace access.

In my market, where every square inch of land is in some sense desirable, you can lowball all you want if you write your own offers (no buyer's agent will take your business for long) but you will end up either buying zero properties for all your time and effort or inadvertently buying a liability rather than an asset 99% of the time. 

By enjoy I just mean, if I had it my way, I would be able to achieve financial freedom by building furniture in my garage, or making mugs on a pottery wheel, but that is not the reality I find myself in.
