Good Afternoon! Writing today’s LTRE from up in the clouds… literally I am currently on a flight. As many of you on here know I HATE heights and that includes flying.

Good Morning! Today we are talking about something that is relevant to both renters AND home buyers. This past weekend we picked up the keys to our new apartment- woo! As soon as we did that, I walked through the unit and made sure everything was working properly, and took pictures of any item that was not. Let’s talk about […]
Good Morning! Today we are talking CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. This is a topic that has come up a lot with Project Philadelphia, and views have varied as to whether or not we need one.

Good Morning! As you all know by now, we are leaving NYC and making the move to PHILADELPHIA.
