Hi,

I know this is a bk browstone forum, but I could really use some advice. About to buy a 2 BR brownstone apt. in Central Harlem, 1550 sq. ft for $590,000. It is pretty close to the A,C,2,3. (W. 123rd b/w 7th & Lennox Ave).

First time buyer, so I guess I am getting a little bit nervous. Any thoughts/feedback much appreciated.

The apartment/building needs a bit of work done. Probably between 20-40k in the next 5 years. We are staying around for the long term, next 5 years at least.

The advice has been fantastic on here so far.

Thanks!
