hah lindsay lohan’s hairdresser. Good one. Quite the wit. who writes your stuff.
$200,000 is a low salary in New York City. We’re talking about owning brownstones here. 10% of the residents of New York do not own brownstones.
What tri-borough are you referring to? Did two boroughs disappear last week?
“$800,000 is a starter house in New York. If you can’t even afford a house that is priced uner $1MM you need to consider moving somewhere else…”
That the most stupid statement I have ever seen anyone make here. Who ARE you, lindsay lohans hairdresser? Without daddies help, or an inheritance, a starter home is a sub 300k 1br apartment, yes, even for someone on $200k a year (a number that would be in the top 10% of those who live in tri-borough).
$800,000 is a starter house in New York. If you can’t even afford a house that is priced uner $1MM you need to consider moving somewhere else or figuring out how you can make more money.
i like how they call hancock a quiet street on craigslist. that block is lovely from certain angles but there was a shooting on hancock a few weeks ago. if you dont know how to carry yourself, i’d stay off tompkins.
there’s a lot of beautiful original brownstones in bedstuy, but i get the impression that to buy a nice original 4-story on a nice block, it’s getting difficult to pay less than $900-950k, with some reno to modernize bathroom/kitchen. am i getting this wrong? would like to buy in the area.
8:49-re, hart & greene- about 75% of clinton hill is served by the g train as it’s closest train and redhook has none…who cares? the g train is as good as any train, and connects to every major line. hart and greene have great blocks and imho that area is a better investment-closer to clinton hill/williamsburg. having said that-i’d hold out for better houses, as i’m not loving either.
SRO = Single Room Occupancy. Assignment made by the city at some point based on the usage of the property, and to guarantee supply.
242 sold for $905k. Whether or not the house has been lived in as a single family for 20yrs, if 349 is a 6-family (per propertyshark) you’ll need a commercial mortgage. If it’s a “deemed” SRO (many were deemed SRO in the early 70s), you’ll eventually need to hire an expediter and get the CoO status changed with the city, Could take 6-12mths. Certainly easier if there’s been no one renting there in recent yrs as you’d have to go through the non-harrassment certificate process. Not for everyone.
Newbie here – what’s an SRO?
