TP….If you are paying 2000 a month in rent, you can afford to buy a small place.
I pay about 1500 a month in mortgage and maintenance for a prime park slope studio. With the interest deduction, it’s more like 1100 a month. No way I’m gonna find something to rent for that price…that’s for darn sure. If you start out small, it still does pay to buy over rent…
@ 2:00
You are so right. Now I just need figure out a way to triple my salary and find at least another $100k for a down payment… Doh.
I’m not bitter about renting; I’m resigned to it.
TP in CG (aka 1:16 & 1:46 in this tread)
inane, bigoted landlords are another reason to buy, fyi…
I rented in CG and I agree with 1:16. Loved the hood, but the old landlady was a coot.
1:30 is wrong. There are tons of them left, they aren’t going anywhere for a long time, and then their kids are moving in to be your landlord.
Hey 1:32, your reading comprehension skills suck. I was the only person in this thread talking about rents, and I was commenting on how low mine was compared to the price someone paid for a condo on my block. Now, I’ll grant you that I’d rather move than pay my ancient, bigoted, insane landlord another cent, but that’s a value calculation about my apartment and not Brooklyn in general. If Nebraska’s so nice, maybe you should try it…?
right, 12:21. broker much? any real potential buyer wouldn’t be trying to cheerlead prices BEFORE making an offer. WOW WOW WOW, my a$$
the chinese side of sunset park always cost more than the rest of sunset park. also i think they call the area sunset heights.
For those of you who don’t like the High rents and stuff Brooklyn has to offer I hear Nebraska is nice this time of year.
1:16 that’s why all the old timers are doomed. There are not many left. The new Blood has come in and taken out the old dogs.
