I looked at the area before in order to open a pharmacy. however, i was looking for another licensed pharmacist to cover some of the days with me. working 6 days a week 12 hours a day can burn you out quickly. I did not find any takers.
Im a licensed pharmacist....if anyone know of another licensed pharmacist who would want to open in the area let me know.

I was just about to ask about the crazy landlady. I believe its the same building. The tenants had a running blog about how crazy she is. Heard she slept with the previous owner to get the building for a song.

I had to lower the rent by $50 in center slope. What was really shocking was the amount of people that responded to the ad. I used to get a stampede! Now only a few showed up.

I would rather rent then buy something in canarsie. You have more people defaulting on their mortgage then anywhere else in bklyn. This is thanks to al sharpton. I know some people who fled from the area.

Think carefully before buying in the area. Drive around....

Marvin Markus makes absolute sense. I could not have said it any better. Every point he made was right on target.

As for etson's reply - Just because the landlords "knew what the deal was" does not make the deal fair. We definitly need change. The sooner the better.

Ysabelle - I am replacing everything in the same location. However there will be lots of garbage to take out. The contractor said that he will have a van remove the stuff instead of getting a dumpster. I live in the Midwood section and as long as no work is done on a saturday, everyone is ok. The contractor ensured me that it will be as clean as possible and no sign of the work will be seen outside the house.

What - its not because of some retard willing to pay 1800 for a one bedroom in a bad area.

its because of some retards (plural).

You have area's that are worth every penny (park slope, dumbo, brooklyn hights), but when someone pays a crazy amount in rent for a 1 bedroom bedsty apt...I have to scratch my head and try to figure out what they are thinking.

Posted by: troll at February 2, 2009 10:51 AM in response to Rents Falling in Manhattan a Lot, Brooklyn Not So Much

Rents in Manhattan are still very high and still higher then Brooklyn (and always will be). Brooklyn rents have not suffered as much because Brooklyn is much more diverse, with fewer people relying on big end year bonuses.

Its little compensation when a $3200 per month one bedroom is lowered to $2800.

This will pass we well. Hopefully the economy will recover and Manhattan will see an upsurge in rents once again.

Posted by: troll at February 2, 2009 9:25 AM in response to Rents Falling in Manhattan a Lot, Brooklyn Not So Much

Mine went up $488,000 on a 6 unit and 1 commercial property. they also stated that they estimate my income to be 130k per year from the property...which is far from that number. Does that play into my tax estimate? If so, is it a large variable?

thanks

Anyone read today's (Thurs) daily news?! They were talking about Commercial rent control in order to save small buisnesses.

In short...every commercial space under 10k sq feet will be subject. At lease renewal the most you can add is 15% and the rent can't go higher then 3% per year.

Minimum lease would be 7 years.

Thanks for the tip karo. Ill see about renting the place before deciding to buy. I want to make sure my wife is ok with such a commitment.

I was thinking of getting a forclosure list from a PA bank. Ill let you know what I find out.

Posted by: troll at January 27, 2009 10:44 AM in response to PA cabin purchase

I saw this portable steam unit a last week. I guess its taking them a long time to make the necessary repairs. At least they still have heating in the building.

Usually the courts give you a few weeks to fix a boiler if it fails. They could have easily excercised that right. its a good thing they are willing to pay out of their pocket to ensure that the tenants have heat while the boiler is being fixed.

But then again, with that clinic of the first floor they might not have had much of a choice.

Non-The-Less im glad they did the right thing and hope they will have their heating system up and running soon.

The house in homecrast is sitting on a land parcel thats less then 30 feet wide! I understand the serian factor and I live in homecrest as well....but 3 mill for a house on land thats only 29x120 does not make sense. there are many homes in the area with very large parcels (50x100) that sell for less then 3 million.

I agree with werner. You should wait a few months before raising your offer...and when you do, offer 565.

On a different note, I live in madison and love the area. Very quite and still not far from the city. with the new coney island being planned, you will be in the middle of everything.

I live in Greenwood Heights and I'm only paying $1,070 for a one bedroom. $1475 may be viewed as too high by many apartment hunters unless that apartment is super nice with a lot of amenities.

I'm looking for a 1 br right now for under $1,300, but I think that location would be too far out. Like they said above, it would have to be super nice for me to consider it for even 1300. just a little renter's pov for you. good luck!

Posted by: sendmemedia at July 27, 2009 10:41 AM in response to Hard to Rent in G'wood Heights?

When he heard we were looking for a new place, our landlord knocked $200/month off the rent (we live in ft. greene, on a landmark block). Rents are coming down and tenants know it.

Posted by: talknerdytome at July 27, 2009 12:28 PM in response to Hard to Rent in G'wood Heights?

Thank you everyone for the input both on the owner and the tenant side. As our rental is a part of what pays our mortgage it helps to know what we are facing in terms of financial hardships in the next year.

We have reduced the rent. Our last tenants rented it at 1600.00 a month. We've had a lot of people look at it but no serious bites. Four more have appointments over the next two days so fingers crossed. Its ironic because we had less people look at the place the first two years we owned it.

The apartment is nice, we renovated it first. Today after finding out the previous tenant broke both of the fixtures (and never bothered to mention it) we went out and purchased new fixtures for the bath and kitchen. It's not one of those brand new condos turned rentals... but it is clean, sunny, big (for 1 or 2 people) and quiet. We are slowly renovating the entire building as we can afford it. I love the Greenwood area of Brooklyn. We are committed to saving our little old frame house (its almost 100) no matter what the rental market throws at us. Hopefully we won't lose our shirts in the process.

Thanks again for the insights, I really appreciate it.

Like the posters said - rents are going down all over but Greenwood Heights or "South Slope" is especially difficult as it doesn't have much an identity as Park Slope and Sunset Park plus it's aesthetically challenged in the eyes of many (oh, 4th ave) Apart from a price adjustment, you can try NY Vacancies, Hotpads, maybe sort term or foreign students but be wary if you go down that route.
