"In any case it's clear that the gun laws need to be tighter. I'm a republican and i own guns (rifles) which are a different story in the country. The gun laws have to be different in an urban setting and obviously this all has to do with handguns."

haahahahah, the idiot never ceases to astound. So we got a right wing, gun toting but wants gun control, closet racist, ghetto investing speculator who is in favor of a military state. IDIOT MAXIMUS!

Lol, Dibs getting all worked up over Bed Stuys' (de)valuation.

$275-$300K tops, ghetto speculation is over (for 98% of the population).

Hey 11217, maybe you should go back to being the resident "Liason to the stars" because you sure don't know much else. Try to read a graph one day - hint hint, this one says home values hold their value relative to inflation: http://www.lesjones.com/www/images/posts/united_states_1890-2007-600x450.png

Obviously, 11217 has never driven down Union St. Yes, its a nightmare. Idiot likes to talk and talk and talk about aspects of BK in which he knows 10% or less...

What are you all smoking? The housing crisis is over, just like that! Reason? DIBs the money manager living in the ghetto said so! As a bonus, the forums' 300 sq foot owning official "Liason to the Stars" 11217 agrees.
Posted by: cornerbodega at October 28, 2009 3:59 PM in response to NYT: Housing Not Out of the Woods Yet
saying 10% is ok under certain circumstances is funny stuff. Safe zone? Lol, if your financials are good enough in the first place then you would be able to come up with the 20% down.
Posted by: cornerbodega at September 15, 2009 11:02 AM in response to New Rules for First-time Home Buyers
"The one I take issue with though is the 20% down - not sure how many first time buyers could front $100k (for a $500k apartment) without help."
and thats why we've got a long way to go
Posted by: cornerbodega at September 15, 2009 10:44 AM in response to New Rules for First-time Home Buyers
did we really need the nyt to validate that bed stuy (and other speculative "rough" areas) would get hammered the most? I think at this point 90% of even the ignoramus population knows this. Yeah, we have delusional morons like Dibs who argue otherwise, but we've only seen the beginning..
Posted by: cornerbodega at August 24, 2009 1:01 PM in response to Bed-Stuy: 'Experiencing a Little Bit of a Depression'?
"Hammered???? ROTFLMMFAO. But you're the savvy real estate guy with all the properties."
Yes, getting hammered on your ghetto speculative buy and getting hammered on your equities yoy. Your known track record speaks for itself. Only somebody with issues comes on here bragging about success with your track record. Such a high roller you need to sweep the stairs for your bitter renters...
Posted by: cornerbodega at August 18, 2009 5:52 PM in response to Looking for the Bottom
Who the f*uck cares dibs, I got in on BAC @5 and change so whats your point? Since you believed there was no recession as late as early fall last year I'm sure you rode equities all the way down. So you've gotten hammered on your peak ghetto speculation as well as equities. Thats your track record. Any more advice?
Posted by: cornerbodega at August 18, 2009 4:04 PM in response to Looking for the Bottom
Per Dibs as late as July 08 "We're not in a recession", Oct "Nyc housing immune", "Brooklyn immune", Jan 09 "Prime Brownstone immune" (even though his brownstone is in the ghetto), Feb09 "We'll get Minor cuts", Apr09 "maybe -10%", June09 "bottom is in", July09 "we'll see the peaks again in 3 yrs". This my friends is the track record of an idiot, errr I mean money manager. LOL hahhahahaha

and the slide marches on...
Posted by: cornerbodega at August 18, 2009 3:04 PM in response to Price Cuts at One Brooklyn Bridge Park
“People will do anything to not regret how they feel," including extending their losses so as not to feel stupid.
= Dibs in a nutshell. Peak ghetto speculator. Can't be any more of a poster boy for stupidity. Then theres the handful of people on here simply being considerably "worth" less and less every day. Same 'ol s*hit with every bubble. The virtual wealth thing...

I repeat, when blogs such as this disappears = bottom in housing.

Dibs, you're such a symbol of success. You live in Bed Stuy and sweep for your renters. You're going to lose hundreds of $K on this alone. You've said as late as last Sept that theres no recession. Shall I go on? In a nutshell, you're the stupidest f*uck here.
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 31, 2009 3:18 PM in response to Open House Picks: Six Months Later
People like 11217 getting all excited over3 widgets on a blog vs the actual #s? Schiller, rebny, even prudential elliman (-28% manhattan avg 2q yoy)...
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 29, 2009 12:34 PM in response to Widget Underprices for Third Straight Time
"People buying houses in brownstone Brooklyn will probably have a profit on their hands in as little as 3-5 years.
Discuss."
price/income. If you still haven't come to the realization that the price/income went bonkers due to the speculative bubble then you're truly an idiot of epic proportions. Then again, you did say there was no recession.
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 29, 2009 12:06 PM in response to Widget Underprices for Third Straight Time
"Widgets don't underprice properties, Bears that don't know the market do." - coming from the ghetto money manager who comes out with statements such as this:
No problems in nyc housing...Because we are NOT in a recession. Prices of commodities have started to drop. The S&P 500 is only off 15% YTD. Mortgage rates are no where near any highs seen over the past 30 years.

About once or twice a day Brownstoner makes a comment that seems straight from DIBs' mouth. That is, an asinine comment...
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 28, 2009 10:51 AM in response to Lefferts Place Threatened by Healthcare Developer
lets see, price drop from last spring is about 12%. Clinton hill houses fell 35% 2q yoy (rebny). And Brownstoner making it out like its a good deal?

crap house btw. Fact that idiots are still talking up crap like this for $600k shows we've still got a while to go.

Posted by: cornerbodega at July 22, 2009 10:29 PM in response to House of the Day: 176 Bainbridge Street
11217 doesn't comprehend that one goes through 20% before you go through 30, 40, 50. 11217 doesn't comprehend that nycs fall just started. Conclusion? 11217 is an idiot.

Posted by: cornerbodega at July 20, 2009 3:26 PM in response to It Pretty Much Sucks to be a Seller Right Now
A couple hundred K can go in a hurry. From the few paragraphs the Rogerses thought "real estate only goes up" and have been spending much more than they should/could. They're probably still on the plus side but it looks like the Mrs. might actually have to look for a job that pays LOL
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 20, 2009 2:07 PM in response to It Pretty Much Sucks to be a Seller Right Now
Why does the article focus on the Rogers "plight"? Its ridiculous. They were asking for 15% ABOVE their peak purchase price THIS SPRING with the recession in full blown mode. They deserve a slap instead of sympathy...
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 20, 2009 10:16 AM in response to It Pretty Much Sucks to be a Seller Right Now
"There is a pulse in Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill. Prices are lower than two years ago but things are selling."
Not sure what your point is theres transactions in all locales. Whats clear is each transaction going lower and lower. Whats the top end BH at? -25% so far?

Price/income. Idiots like Dibs actually think we'll go back to the peak in 3 yrs. This guy is the best! LOL

Buy now or be priced out forever! Idiots like antidope are crying to buy because you can't "nail" the bottom. LOL, peeps really show their stupidity when you're nowhere near the bottom (price/income).
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 15, 2009 7:19 PM in response to House of the Day: 202 Clermont Avenue
Lets see, you save a while for $100K, then take a 300k loan. Almost a given that the value will go down next few years. All for a 300 sf hole in the wall. Shooting for the stars! You can't make this sh*t up!

Sweeping steps for bitter renters on your money losing ghetto investment or eating at Mamas Fish House in Maui/Kicking it on Ke'e in Kauai. Hmmmmm.... tough one ...
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 8, 2009 5:00 PM in response to House of the Day: 448 6th Street Revisited
dibs, you can guess at my situation ;) We KNOW of yours! Speculative ghetto investing (-50% loss, probably more), recent suckers rally cheerleader, what other investing advice can you provide us? Sweep those steps while I chill out nyc style after 3 weeks in Hawaii ;)
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 8, 2009 4:40 PM in response to House of the Day: 448 6th Street Revisited

Dibs, -70% $$$ is coming fast and furious ;) Congrats again!
Posted by: cornerbodega at July 8, 2009 4:09 PM in response to House of the Day: 448 6th Street Revisited
Well we do have a guy (Dibs) who claims to be interested. This is the same guy who stands to lose 50-70% on his well publicized "investment" in the ghetto so who knows?
Posted by: cornerbodega at June 22, 2009 10:24 PM in response to House of the Day: 329 Adelphi Street
Dibs, I hope you move on that property. Keep us posted on your next 50% loss. Have a great weekend and oh, sweep those stairs for your bitter renters, mr "Money Manager" lol
Posted by: cornerbodega at June 19, 2009 3:06 PM in response to Brooklyn Sales: Under a Million
Amazing that some idiots don't realize that when reports calling for 40-50% down, its for the next few years. And yes the sales trends sure are looking that way. Amazing we still have people like Mopar and slopefarm who continue to engage without this basic understanding. WTf!?
