I work in the arts, live in Brooklyn, am 29 and make roughly 150K a year.
Tell me where I can find a job like that in DC.
I don’t like DC, but tell me anyway…
Just for fun…
It’s obvious that same DC person posted twice, trying to sound like two different people. As if coincidentally we’d suddenly have two different people from DC visiting today.
So great. Now we have desperate brokers from both Lodi NJ and DC trying to convince New Yorkers to buy in their towns instead.
There are going to be so many places for sale in DC after the election if the party in power changes. Won’t that be fun to watch. Republicans trying to sell to Democrats. Let the marketing to New Yorkers begin!
Run of the mill traders making 2-3 million are not buying these homes! And sorry, but the vast majority of people I know in Brooklyn do not have salaries like that, at all (they’re lucky if they are into the six figures)! Silly propoganda….
Jobs in DC are similarly compensated to jobs in NY???
Did you know that a run of the mill trader makes two or three million? Is that very common in DC?
Awesome you two Numb Nuts!
Battle of the links………
10th st. will sell for 1.1 mil. Then your 500000 renovation will make sense.
The challenge with 10th Street is that you have to factor in *a lot* of renovation – most architects/contractors have told me 200/psf is rock bottom, so you’re talking at least 500K with this place, which brings the price closer to 2 mil.
Plus, 3 families are hard to get rental income out of, unless you keep it as a 3 family (but then you have a tiny apt for yourself) – so you essentially need to use this as a one-family. Plus, if this comes with existing tenants, there’s a huge headache to be dealt with.
“The Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., delivered a guardedly optimistic message to business leaders on Friday, saying that the economy was moving toward a rebound after months of malaise.”
Ok, is this from a guy this is worth 500 million? Oh I see, he has his finger on the financial pulse of America. I think this guy used to run Goldman Sachs, the company that just reported a 500 million lost this quarter. Ok I see, the good ole truth comes from this Administration. Like the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Wow, how about this one Numb Nuts!
U.S. Economy: Confidence Slumps, Single-Family Home Starts Fall
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aLlZUqsbxyjc&refer=home
U.S. consumer confidence was the weakest this month since Jimmy Carter was president, and single- family home construction fell to a 17-year low in April.
Abstract: After Ronald Reagan got in office interest rates went to 14%. Why you ask? Because Paul Volker became Chaiman of the FED. He pulled out a rocket launcher and blew the asset bubbles to pieces. Inflation at that time was very bad (Like Now) and that was the only way to get things under control.
Guess who is advising Obama? Why it’s good old Paul himself. The rumor is if Obama get in the White house he will appoint Volker again. May GOD have mercy on your souls if that happens! Paul Volker is Dr. Death! He makes Dr Kevorkian look like a saint.
Yep, keep dreaming. Keep praying and don’t for get to duck.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
I almost hate to post this here, but the 10th St. house is by far the best bargain of the bunch. I can’t believe it’s also one of the cheapest, since the location is far better than any of the other properties. It’s the only location in an already established wonderful neighborhood. (I lived near there more than 20 years ago and it was stlll ok, although not as upscale as now). I guess it’s different strokes for different folks, but paying huge amounts of money for houses in the other neighborhoods seem like you are betting on the neighborhood improving, not what it is now. That used to be the way to buy a bargain property, but now it seems as if people are already paying prime prices in not so prime neighborhoods.
But, I hope everyone else disagrees, since I’d love to buy the 10th Street house at a discount.
