Hey @Omar Sanchez & @Cashmere Robinson...The Bronx will become the next outpost!!!! I've been in the South Bronx when the Bronx was truly BURNING......Starbucks on 161st...The handwriting is on the wall. 

I feel that the growth will happen in the lower Bronx. GC 149th to 170th and 4 blocks east and west of the concourse, Bruckner Blvd west of the highway is already smoking. 

@Sarhay Alvarez Welcome to BP from a fellow BRONXITE.......LIKE YOUR FIRE KEEP IT STOKED!!!!!!!!....READ....READ.....READ.....Rich Dad Poor Dad....Millionare Real Estate Investor...all books by @Brandon Turner, ABC Of Real Estate Investing the list go on...listen to the podcast and then listen to them again you are going to hear something you did not hear before.

@Wendy Gomez @Frank Jiang@Jake Thomas@Chance Housos@Carlos Rovira@Gary Ytreeide@Michael Shuell

I was deciding what I needed to do, I came across this forum post ... I read Wendy's post....and said THATS ME!!!!! As I read all the post I knew what I needed to do.....I could not get a HELOC because of my credit score also. I did not want to refinance my investment property. So by taking the advice from those given in this post....

THANK YOU......You made my decision a smart one.... I applied for a loan from my pension which I will pay back at 7.5% and will be deducted out of my check every pay period. THANK YOU Wendy for sharing and THANKS TO THE OTHER POSTERS FOR YOUR AWESOME INSIGHT AND SUGGESTIONS....

@Thomas Franklin Another downside is you loose on the advantages, of the Federal Tax Code, by not closing in the name of a LLC.

What tax advantages are being lost by not closing in an LLC as opposed to closing under your name.

@Jacqueline Pelzer.... Hey Jacqueline I agree with your line of thought about your co op. I would suggest you post the question on the loans, mortgage forum and call around to some banks. TD Bank is right there on Sanford Blvd. I myself would go there personally therefore you can see eye to eye and maybe create a future business relationship. Have a Blessed day!!
