Single individual no.. genre yes

Of course. Just like there will always be landlords; however, each landlord is not guaranteed perpetual existence. So, in this case, cry me a river to this landlord’s family. Same thing an NYC judge would say. And I’ve heard them say it.
 
I got one tenant that hasn't paid rent since August and is working.... $1300/month.... and he never put the electric and gas in his name, left it in the previous tenants name.... PSE&D can't shut him off neither cause of the COVID

Thats the story of a lot of landlords.
They don't get unemployment when tenants not paying.

I got two properties on section 8, guaranteed deposit the 1st of the month even if the zombie apocalypse happens.
Section 8 is where it’s at
An family friend has made millions from owning a trailer park. Only rented out to older section 8 people

Section 8 is cool until one of them fuckers calls and says my outlet isn’t working and the landlord hasn’t fixed it. Them payments stop immediately. They don’t even check to see if the outlet is broken. Started dealing with city feps but they send you some of the worst tenants

That’s why you gotta deal with older white tenants when it comes to sec 8

I don't know what city you're in but housing doesn't operate like that in my city (Houston). They definitely not stopping payments immediately if a tenant complain about something not working. I'm not a shitty landlord though so I take care of my properties.

I’m in NYC. Not a slumlord either however tenants who know they are facing eviction will pull out all the tricks. Once had a tenant bring a baby to court that they borrowed from a friend. Judge said I can’t throw a women with kids out. I proceeded to explain how she had no kids. Judge sided in her favor. As we’re walkout she says in front of both our lawyers I know the system better then the courts and I’ll leave your house only when I’m ready to

You can interview the tenants before you rent to them. Spend the time and do the homework, brokers will lie to you to get paid. That $4300 bonus and 1 year of rent sounds real good until they are complaining about everything or causing a problem. We had a "Nice" lady move in, next thing you know, she moved in the BF who broke down her door, (Which we made her pay for) he was in there beating her ass, other tenants were complaining and scared. I didn't trust her from day one but my partner thought she was "Sweet." We were gonna throw her out, but Covid came along and we already had a year's rent. Her BF got locked up which solved that. We sold that building though. She was one of the 2 paying tenants in that 4 family.

Just keep your shit tight. Don't scrimp on the repairs. Take tons of pics. I bought a couple of 360 Degree cameras for move in and move outs. We will see how that goes. Also, pro-tip. You cannot evict for non-payment of rent during Covid, however, holdover tenants, tenants that break the lease are still fair game. (At least as of a month ago...These rules are changing by the day.)
 
I tried to find a meme I saw a while back but couldn't. It goes something like "If I stop paying rent and you lose a house, I'm the one providing you with a home."
 
That area already hood..literally up the block on 7th ave is the projects... on the other side lenox ave is pretty much a food scene/lounge scene..hell jacobs the pay by the pound food buffet right up the block between 128 & 129 and Lenox ave.. that area was actually popping during the summer... madddddd broads walking up and down certain days.. food and places with drinks always bring out ass and man oh man pussy was an abundance on Lenox during summer especially on the weekends... man the good weather need to come back extra fast

Then you know about that building going up down from the Lenox Ave JACOB's on 130th.
The City allocated a large portion of that complex to Homeless and Shelter folks.
Nice looking building. But you know it's going to go to SHIT in less than a year.
My Sister's Boyfriend, who (in his off-time) screens applicants for newly built complexes for the city, gave me the lowdown on that one.

And all those buildings going around Lenox Terrace and The Rivington?
Yeah.
That whole area's going to pretty crowded and fucked up.
 
the one i got has the utils + wifi i left in my name, im thinking to cut that wifi shit off i know i cant cut electric or gas , im just not a grimy person but shit its been 7 month :angry:
No, you probably can't.... but you can take it out of your name.... unless you weren't too smart and put in the lease that it was included...... that would've been a dumb move Bob..... like including the heat in the lease...... then you have assholes running the heat walking around in wife beaters with the fucking windows open in the winter..... when they gotta pay..... common sense comes quicker

See how you be changing the goal post?

Why you always got to be right?

You got a complex bro.

You couldn't give it to @papi68? You had to switch it up.
Shut up.. dude said no business always makes money all the time.. I responded by saying vices is looking at you.. the vice game always makes money.. papi responded by talking about individuals and not the genre.. business is the genre.. the liquor bizz, the drug bizz, the sex game, the gambling game, entertainment.. they all continuously made money.. some individuals may have dried up but not the genre.. so my response was actually right when I said vices.. vices=the genre
 
Rental laws will change after the pandemic in favor of landlords and against tenants. Additionally, landlords will make it harder for poor folk and folk property owners deem to be high risk to rent a place.

A New York City landlord is facing his own eviction as tenants in his Harlem building refuse to pony up the rent.
David Howson, now 88, has long used rental income from his 10-unit building at 9 W. 129th St. to help pay for the co-op apartment in Inwood where he’s lived for decades. Now, out more than $40,000 and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, he’s had trouble paying his own maintenance charges and is himself facing the boot, his family claims.

The alleged deadbeats in Howson’s building will get another break, courtesy of Albany’s largesse. The legislature is expected to pass a new eviction moratorium that will keep wayward tenants in their apartments until at least May 2021.


“We have nothing. We are completely destitute,” daughter Jessica Howson, who manages her father’s affairs, told The Post.
The bulk of the lost income — more than $39,000 — comes from a single tenant who inherited rights to the apartment after her husband left for a nursing home, and hasn’t paid a dime of rent since December 2016, according to the landlord, who showed rent rolls to The Post.
The monthly rent is $926. But only a trickle of $215, courtesy of city social services, began coming in September 2019.
Years of litigation by Howson and her brother Dante have been fruitless. When they go to court, the Howsons have often found themselves outgunned by pro bono city attorneys.


“Legal Aid, Adult Protective Services, this lady came to court with four lawyers, like OJ and the dream team,” Howson recalled. “We can barely afford one attorney.”
Howson said the agency acting as the woman’s legal guardian has bluntly told her that their client had a “right” to remain in the apartment rent-free.
In November, attorneys for the tenant and Howson agreed to settle an ongoing lawsuit for $39,106.29 payable by Dec. 31, 2020. The money didn’t arrive.
In a statement, Manhattan Legal Services said it is in the process of “obtaining a rent subsidy from the City which will pay the landlord our client’s full back rent and provide regular monthly rent payments on her behalf moving forward.”

Howson says selling the building has proved impossible too, as potential buyers flee, due to the city’s draconian rent-stabilization rules and the tenants they would inherit.

“This landlord is basically trapped in court purgatory, owed tens of thousands of dollars, and they’re trapped in a black hole, a legal morass where they won’t get any relief from the government and the government is saying there is nothing they can do about it,” Jay Martin, executive director of the Community Housing Improvement Program, told The Post. “We’re seeing this all over the city and all over the state.”

“We need help,” Howson said. “If Citibank is not giving me a break with my mortgage, why should anyone else live rent-free?”

this entire story is
:bullshit:

the headline is a lie that falls apart after 2 sentences

nothing the family said is possible in housing court
nyhra, aps etc payout to landlords quick and avoid going past arbitration

if the city isn't paying -the family hasn't proven ownership

real estate is the best...but not properties where low income people live. do what the white boys do and start building strip malls, retail propeties.

Online retail is cannibalizing a lot of strip mall retail properties so I would tread lightly investing in them. As for low income properties, they have made a lot of millionaires with constant cashflow. Granted, you have know what you're doing & have systems in place.. As middle class Americans continue to dissappear, guess which properties they'll be able to afford rent?
 
No one wants to say it but landlords really are getting fucked. They're basically being mandated to not collect rent and not evict for over a whole year. I mean, will they ever get that money? Likely not. It's fucked.

Yea I know quite a few that would disagree right now. Hella businesses are closing and people are basically not paying rent because they dont have to, hood or not. The property manager of a complex not too far from here told us that about 30% of people have paid their rent since March. These are luxury apartments, $1000+ a month in a gated community. The folks didn't lose their jobs, they just aren't paying.
