Two weeks later, he called 311, the NYC hotline, to report our super for smoking cigarettes in the elevator, which called attention to the fact that I was renting out a coop, without the board's permission.

Not to smoke cigarettes, such a disgusting and nasty habit I formed, while in the military.

But you know what -- joke as we may, none of us tossed it.Some even set it out on their desk with what must have been some measure of pride, small as it might have been.So yah, none of us could take it to the store to buy cigarettes, and we couldn't melt it down into a gold nugget that would let us retire, and we all had a good ol' time joking about it, and I doubt any of us worked any harder for the Man over it.

I quit cigarettes 8 years ago.

On top of that, the lady that had passed away was a chain smoker, and the place stunk sooo bad.Here are my numbers:Purchase and closing costs: $102,000Rehab and Holding Costs: $53,000Refinancing costs: $8000ARV: $230,000Total Equity in the end: $67,000 +/-I have not found a renter yet, as it is winter and I just finished 2 days ago :) But even on my low end rent estimate I should cash-flow $100/mo+, and my high end $400/mo. 

After tenant constantly refused to pay her part of the rent, only $14 a month.While smoking a cigarette..."

Yes, the smoker will deny it.

But I say, "But you had no problem paying $10 a pack for cigarettes, huh?
