House of the Day: 489 16th Street
It’s not really our cup of tea, but someone’s obviously put a lot of effort into renovating this three-story brick townhouse at 489 16th Street in Windsor Terrace. The look is a little too “new condo trapped inside old house” for us. That said, everything’s new and the location, just a block from the park,…
It’s not really our cup of tea, but someone’s obviously put a lot of effort into renovating this three-story brick townhouse at 489 16th Street in Windsor Terrace. The look is a little too “new condo trapped inside old house” for us. That said, everything’s new and the location, just a block from the park, is very nice. The house was purchased for $925,000 back in 2005 and is now asking $1,595,000. What do you make of it?

lethacal the guy is a lyer and I called him on it. Nobody who was into volatile stocks is down just 24 percent from the top. I work in finance and in particular portfolio manag. for high beta funds. The chances of what the guy is saying is not even possible.
and 11217 you are right not to take the bait on naming your advisor. I definitely would do the same in your shoes.
Interest Rates are LOW. GOOD TIME TO BUY. You are all going to whine when after recession rates are up to 7-9% like they were in the early 90’s. This time will seem like a good buying opportunity( OK OK you need the income and down payment)
I kind of lost track of this thread (devolved into name calling at some point). 11217, if all you are getting from this person is advice, you’re probably fine. Just make sure he isn’t actually holding on to your money. Pay him a fee for telling you how to invest and then invest on your own through a large, reputable broker-dealer. As soon as you actually turn funds over to someone, red flags should go up.
brickoven, why be a jerk to 11217 about this? What do you possibly have to gain? For all you know this guy is an experienced and reputable financial advisor.
Wasder – boy – thanks for asking. I hope little wasder is doing well (and she isn’t still hanging around in bars 😉
Why don’t you post your name here then?
Until you do so, I don’t believe YOU exist.
When someone referred me as a favor to a high level financial advisor at Merrill Lynch, I’m sorry…I don’t feel comfortable announcing his name here on this blog.
Especially not with crazies like you, Hannible and Park Dope lurking around.
Get a clue dude. Why are you so concerned about my finances anyway?
11217 if you are not lying you should call the SEC ASAP, no joke. But I am sure you are lying. Financial advisors are salesman and not one would not want his name plastered all over the place has highly regarded. You cant post his name in that he does not exist!
brickoven,
Your stupidity is mind boggling.
If you are suggesting I’m being “had” by someone who’s been respected in the business for 25 years, (even though a very good friend and colleague has also used him for 22 of those years) and I’ve met the guy 3 times now (IN HIS OFFICE) wouldn’t you think he’d want as many new clients as possible for this alleged new ponzi scheme you think you’ve uncovered?
Trust me…I think a lot of people on this blog laugh at each and every one of your posts.
And no…we’re no laughing with you.
Ritchie Havens is da bomb
11217 is a dud
11217 I pray you are lying
