Investor to Buy Co-op Unit?


Hello, our small co-op is seeking an investor to buy a rent-controlled unit. The maintenance exceeds the rent, which is why we want to sell it, obviously at a huge discount. Does anyone have an idea as to how we’d market it? Through a conventional realtor who might specialize in this, or is there anothe way?

Sanding floor in small room


As I mentioned in my earlier post about plaster repair, we’re down to the maid’s room in our restoration. It’s 11×6, and the w/d take up some of that floor space (they’re mounted/leveled on marine ply base, which I’m not going to touch). To sand the red pine floor, seems like it would be extreme overkill to rent a drum sander. My first thought is a 4″x24″ belt sander. It’ll be slow but cheap and lightweight. I suppose I could rent an edge sander but they’re pretty heavy. Any other ideas? It’s such a small area that I can just do the edges/corners by hand.

Thanks.

Plaster repairer?


Hello, we’re down to the last room in restoring our apartment…it’s the maid’s room off the kitchen, and the plaster is in pretty sad shape. I’m going to put up shelving on three walls (w/d is on 4th), so I don’t need a perfect plaster repair job…just a solid and inexpensive one. Room is only 6′x 11′. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance…
