Is the listing still active? If so, please add the date on which the details were last confirmed. An open-ended start date becomes harder to interpret as the thread ages.

There’s a counterpoint: don’t double-count every building risk. If the HOA budget already funds routine common-area work and reserves adequately, adding a full duplicate reserve will make the deal look artificially poor. Separate owner expenses, HOA dues, and genuinely unfunded building...

Tenant turnover deserves more than a simple vacancy percentage. A change of tenant may combine lost rent, cleaning, minor repairs and management or advertising work. Those costs arrive together, which matters more for cash flow than their annual average suggests.

I’d be careful with the conclusion that renovation itself causes the quick sale. Renovated homes may simply be launched at more realistic prices by motivated sellers. Meanwhile, an unrenovated property can sit because the seller is testing the market, not because buyers reject the condition...

Inventory should also be split into active, new, pending, and removed listings if those categories are available from the eventual source. A single inventory change can hide whether supply grew because more homes entered or because fewer moved forward.

Start with the same lawyer so nothing conflicts, but don’t assume one person covers every cross-border issue. Ask who is advising on US federal matters, New York matters and your home-country treatment, and whether they coordinate. Title form, estate planning, residency and eventual...

Responders probably cannot guarantee structural condition. Ask for disclosed known issues, maintenance history and permission for an appropriate inspection instead.
