Crap! You too? I was gonna buy it all up and rename it the Bronx
Where in Bushwick are you looking Mopar?
There are so many really nice houses on that stretch of Bushwick Ave, but it seems like they are all in a state of disrepair. That was just my initial impression the few times I found myself out there. What is the commute like on the J out there?
It’s ok, mopar. My plans to buy up Morrisania, formerly known as Crown Heights, aren’t going so well either. Stupid lottery people.
So I’m worried prices are holding up in Bushwick. This does not bode well for my bid to become landlord kingpin of the area.
Hey 11217, how’s your Buenos Aires real estate search going?
Jeesh, this blog is getting like the Yankee dugout, a dust-up a day.
To get back to the really important topic of real estate, my friend in SF, who is living a parallel life with Rob in every respect except she’s a woman with a cat instead of a man with a dog, has for years been emailing me photos of Victorian houses for sale for $50,000 — now suddenly has a chance to buy a Victorian in the Bay Area for the same price — if only she had saved $5,000 she’d be buying it today. As it is, she’s saved $1200 (in the last year) and could be buying it soon anyway because three friends/relatives are going to give her $1500 each. So get your credit clean and save your money because you never know what crazy thing will happen. Or when your friends might be able to help you out.
yikes – I have been in a meeting for 2 hours and this is what happened
That whole Nannie discussion was with 11217 and myself – but we hugged it out after it. He was just stating his opinon which was wrong(haha!)
11217 is totally feisty and is verrry opinonated
“I think you just describe me..”
HA! Yes, you are all of those things…but I love you anyway! ; )
