  1. 303 Henry needs serious work and lacks a lot of details. I saw the place during the winter when it was on the market. Conversion into a 1- or 2-family will require a reconfiguration of the space as well as systems. All that said, $2.1MM translates to about $475psf which is probably an ok deal even though I am not crazy about that corner.

  2. “I thought about it, but that corner is not great.”

    Yes, Ringo, I saw it. Had the same thought as you. No details left. 3-family above — and a dry cleaner with all the chemicals, of all business — carved up into rabbit warrens. And I’d much rather have a garden than parking spaces. Too much work to even attempt to do, and, IMHO, too expensive for what would have to be done.

    Ringo, check your email.

  3. 261 goes over to Joralemon. 2.1M for 303 Henry is a good price unless the building needs a complete total gut, especially if the cleaners have moved.

    123 Boerum Place is a crazy price. Is this the unit with the subterranean bedrooms?

  4. 2.1 makes more sense. Think they were asking 2.6 and we’re advertised as motivated. Not sure of condition of place — CGar, did you see it? — but it was really set up for a user/investor kinda thing. I thought about it, but that corner is not great.

    Think 261 zone goes over to State.

  5. “I don’t get that henry st sale?”#PHH” is it one unit that sold for $1.6m? or whole property? which would seem really cheap — what is the story.
    Also surprised to see zone for PS261 —didn’t know anything on that side of Atlantic wend to 261.”

    BoerumHill,

    If we add expenses to your annualized rate of return calculation, the rate of return is even lower than 3.2%… perhaps even a negative rate of return.

    If we add back deductible interest and taxes…

    😉

    I’ll stick with the simple sale over sale method, tyvm.
