Mopar, just curious how you’re doing your math on the 1500 a month to carry? What kind of rents are you giving those top two apartments? $1200?
oh fun so CW and TJ19 both live near to me!!
“One tenant seems like a good way to start”–as a first time landlord myself I think this sounds like a good instinct. I am really happy with my tenants and they seem happy with their situation so that has all worked out well. But even so I have had to repair their W/D, fix a lock, replace bulbs etc. I am the super for our building in essence. I quite enjoy it most of the time, the sense of purpose it gives, but it also can be stressful so two tenants might be more than you want to deal with.
Eek–your wife is spying on you. thats awesome. hi mrs cwb.
Thanks, TJ 19. Did you see our spiderweb for Halloween? We just got a tree. Go online to nyc.gov, to parks and link through the million trees initiative. Fill out the form. Start with every dead tree and vacant tree pit. Get your neighbors to do do it in front of their houses. We got ours in 6 months, a linden.
“eek … my wife is totally spying on me!”
That is classic. At least you only said good things about her. You even said she’s smarter than you. I think you’re in for a nice evening!
Turtlejam19, you may not remember, but we also met at the End of the World Party. Good to see you here…you’re not around (at least not posting) too often.
eek … my wife is totally spying on me!
Park Place is a nice brownstone, but only two bathrooms in the owner’s triplex. and who would rent out part of their house who could afford to spend two million dollars on a house nowadays? Easy credit is over. The buyer would have to be seriously affluent.
Dunno.
When I think of what two million could buy anywhere. Even San Francisco.
I also live on 14th Street one block up from this house. I drive along this block every so often on my way back from “Park Slope Shores” and am actually quited impressed to see what they are doing on this block. A few homes are being renovated, some (like this one) seem very nice – others not so nice or at least not to my taste. It also seems like a friendly block although there is a lot of traffic, just like on my bit of 14th Street. I worried about this when we moved there almost 2 years ago, but got used to it really quickly. More tree along this block and the one between 4th & 5th would be fantastic. I put a request in with the city to plant more along my block, but don’t know if this will ever actually happen. I also got nervous when I saw the price as I thought it was too low given the finishings, but then saw that it was below 4th. I think for a starting offer it is a decent price, but I don’t think that this is what it will end up selling for.
Hi Slopefarm! We met a few weeks back at the Brownstoner drinks gathering at Union Hall. Loved your holiday decorations.
mopar – Thanks. And thanks for the sympathy. 🙂
I’m honestly a bit worried about having tenants. It’s something I’ve never done before and I’ve heard a lot of horror stories. That’s why we’re most-intrigued by listings that only have a single unit to rent. One tenant seems like a good way to start, rather than buying like a four-unit place and trying to deal with that right from the get-go.
