  1. considering the ft. greene place sold in 10 days, then yes…it looks indeed like it was a good deal.

    guess they do still happen every once in a while.

    that place is probably worth more like 550k.

  2. Actually, the Fort Greene one sounds like a good deal, assuming the square footage is accurate. 850 sq. ft. is quite big for a one-bedroom (that’s the size of our 2-bedroom, and our bedrooms are both a very good size), so there could be some flexibility in adapting the layout. And 1.5 baths is a nice bonus too. All on a nice block.

  3. Future Foreclosures!! I bet these assheads didn’t make the first mortgage payment. However there is a solution!

    Will foreclosures spark an arson boom?

    “History indicates such a spike is coming. “When the economy is down, we see an increase in fraud,” says Dennis Schulkins, a claim consultant in State Farm’s Special Investigative Unit.”
