Tenants Rights vs. Slumlords: Win In Housing Court

I’m Licensed Real Estate Broker of Affordable Homes and Apartments for over 15 years now. I’ve written several real estate books. I conduct housing and investment seminars and workshops.

               I got my start as a 7a Administrator after I became licensed as a sales agent. I found many rundown buildings in NYC and organized the tenants, formed a Tenants Association and brought the building back up to code compliance after which some of the tenants purchased their building from the City as a low income Tenant owned co-operative.

               It was hard building tenants trust at first because they had been down for so long and so many people came around made promises they did not keep. But when I finally gained their trust I was able to help them. I didn’t reside in these buildings I considered as a job. A job that helped me gain the experience I needed to get my real estate broker’s license.

               The best part of real estate is buying houses, fixing them up and renting them to someone in need, especially those who have been down trodden and walked on, like the ones on a fixed income and those disabled and elderly. I love property management more than buying and selling but like “trump” says it’s the art of the deal, I like make deals and negotiating. Two was always my favorite number. Any house I bought I negotiated down to $2,000. Maybe I’ll work my way up to $20,000 for those $50,000 houses. All we buy are foreclosures. I started to change the name, but people might get the wrong impression about what kind of business we are.  Holla at a sister!
