This four-family house at 19 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens changed hands for $1,235,000 in 2007 and is now back on the block for $1,645,000. The exterior is very charming, but unfortunately it looks like the process of carving the house up into four apartments has had deleterious effects on the original integrity of the interior, though it’s hard to make sweeping generalizations based on just two photos. Think this could make sense for an owner to occupy or will it trade as a pure investment property?

Yes, i was just about to ask about heat.
Pretty attractive if you can get it for a 7% yield…$1.45MM
There’s no regular maintenance costs or *HEAT* included in those expenses. Folks are paying $2300+ for rent AND paying for their own heat? I don’t think so.
The $1.3 million price tag in 2007 seems to still be applicable. (If this rent roll is true) Anything more and you are running the red for YEARS.
*oops*
RR s/b 110.4
ROI s//b 6.2%
DOH!
Still doable.
will it trade as a pure investment property?

this is an investment ppty.
what is rent roll? once we know that then we can argue about current multiples…
it’s a nice looking exterior on a rental bldg.
agree that 2nd > 3rd b/c of two-way traffic and bus/bridge. but backup turn on smith? not. and i have a looksee every morning rush.
Hm, a wine press in the cellar. A leftover from Prohibition days? Could help out with the mortgage there.
So let me get this straight. The house traded for $1.235m in 2007 (peak) and now the current owners wants $1.645m?!?
I think it is great that they renovated the four kitchens and bathrooms, but at a $400k uptick, this implies each kitchen/bath reno is worth $100k each? Is that reasonable?
And even if the work is worth $400k, has the financial crisis impacted all locations except 19 3rd Street?
there are more than two photos
