๐Ÿข Could your building end up in the HPD 7A Program? Hereโ€™s what every New York City property owner needs to know.

The HPD 7A Program is designed to protect tenants when a building has serious housing code violations and an owner fails to make necessary repairs. If conditions become severe, the court can appoint a 7A Administrator to collect rents and manage the property until those issues are corrected.

The good news? In many cases, itโ€™s avoidable.

In this video, I explain:
โœ”๏ธ What the HPD 7A Program is
โœ”๏ธ Why buildings are placed into the program
โœ”๏ธ Practical steps you can take to protect your property and stay in compliance

Being proactive is always less expensive than dealing with court intervention. Knowledge is one of the best investments you can make as a property owner.

A multifamily property can look like a great investmentโ€”but do the building, leases, and numbers agree? ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ”‘

Before closing on any investment property, complete your due diligence:

โœ… Inspect the buildingโ€™s major systems, unit conditions, permits, violations, zoning, and deferred maintenance.

โœ… Verify leases, rent history, arrears, security deposits, operating expenses, service contracts, and tenant-related obligations.

โœ… Stress-test the investment by calculating vacancies, repairs, interest-rate changes, slower rent growth, and unexpected expenses.

A smart investment should make sense beyond the best-case scenario. The goal is not simply to purchase a propertyโ€”it is to understand the opportunity, identify the risks, and make an educated decision.

Considering a multifamily investment in New York City? Letโ€™s examine the property and the numbers together.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Thinking about selling an investment property? Donโ€™t let taxes take a bigger bite than necessary.
A 1031 Exchange could allow you to defer paying capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into another qualifying investment property. When used correctly, itโ€™s one of the most powerful wealth-building strategies available to real estate investors.
Whether youโ€™re looking to:
๐Ÿข Upgrade to a larger property
๐Ÿ“ˆ Increase your cash flow
๐Ÿ˜ Diversify your real estate portfolio
๐Ÿ’ผ Build long-term generational wealth..a 1031 Exchange may be worth exploring before you sell.
โš ๏ธ Timing and IRS rules matter, so planning ahead is essential.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Have questions about how a 1031 Exchange works? Drop them in the comments or send me a DM. Iโ€™m happy to point you in the right direction.
๐Ÿ“Œ Save this post for when youโ€™re ready to sell an investment property, and share it with another investor who should know about this strategy.

Trying out my new camera at this beautiful Harlem appraisal. Harlem is a great place to purchase property especially as an investment if the property is has single room occupancy status. Would you buy in Harlem?

I miss the crazy way you would yell โ€œCuzoโ€ over a noisy crowd and on the phone when you would call me especially in June because itโ€™s our birth month. You were always extra hype and loved life so much! Today, we would have said a prayer and reflected on how grateful we are for our lives and what was up next. You were grateful, funny, smart, encouraging and pushy. You were always trying to get me to go everywhere you were and always had a fantastic idea you wanted me to help you execute or just brainstorm on how to execute. I miss that, we all miss that and we all will miss you forever. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’•
