Doesn't work that way.
Where did he ever get that idea, then...!?
I think he was seeing dollar signs that blinded him to reality.
If people pay that there, they should pay it here, or whatever.
The cost of living in WV is far less than anything in NYC. One can
live well on what would be starvation wages there.
And half the repairs from the questionaire have never been done or
half way done.
Apparently he started out with good intentions, if with overly
optimistic expectations
An understatement.
Again, I think he only thought people would line up to rent his
apartments and he could just sit back and count the money.
The last two landlords were similar.
The first landlord I had was an older man who would patch and jerry-rig repairs, etc as needed. He only sold since he was getting older.
Water pipes are a major problem in this building and some have been
here longer than anyone can remember. This building was erected in 1906
so over time things would need to be replaced.
The building next to this one was erected in the late '40s. The
original burned down in 1945 and rebuilt as it was originally in the late
'40s (same plans) when building supplies were available again. There
were fewer problems in that building but the one he ripped out walls willy-nilly, remodeled, etc.
