Took a week or two off from the tales told here in order to get a bunch of personal things in order. It’s been HECTIC, but it’s been the good kind. Well, the kind that will hopefully soon be good to
me.
Okay, that was cryptic.
And it'll stay that way for the time being!
Speaking of hectic (and absolutely fascinating) what’s up with this (alleged? Supposed? I have no idea how to refer to this guy)
Landlord up in NYC? The charges are simply flabbergasting. And I don’t mean the attempted murder or arson.
Well, maybe the arson part. But only because it’s inferred that the arson was perpetrated on his own property.
But what’s really got me confused is how this guy is potentially managing to own MULTIPLE properties in New York City (Manhattan AND Brooklyn) with a collective value well into the millions of dollars, with hundreds of documented building violations spanning more than thirty years, yet NO ONE questioned why he was only claiming $52k as income? And on top of that, they can’t seem to confirm his real name, let alone just how many properties he owns.
Why am I so worried that the curve on my depreciation schedules might be too steep on the downside? Obviously, I want to be ethical in my dealings, and I do feel compelled to do right by my tenants up to the point where it no longer makes economic sense to be involved, but seriously.
That guy’s some kind of super phantom anti-hero Landlord if it comes to pass that he’s
that far off the map.
