is the st. james house the brownstone on the east side of the street (being sold if i remember by two sisters)? – memory tells me the nicest thing about it was the parquet in a few places, and that it had an old-ish kitchen on the garden floor leading to a cement backyard with a basketball court next door (nice)? They got $1.325??
renogirl,
That block of Greene Avenue does have some nice brownstones, but it also many ugly industrial buildings. The block is a little scary albeit well located.
Friends of ours bought a block down (a nicer and more residential block bet Franklin & Bedford) in the 7’s last year. Almost 1MM is no deal, believe me.
The Clifton place house is a much better choice at 1.1M now that it has fallen from its original asking price of 1.3M. If you are game for renovating I think it is much better than buying the house that is located on St. James (between Clifton and Greene) that is now in contract with Corcoran for 1.325M. In the end after renovation you can own a customized house that is to your liking rather than buying someone’s sub par reno flip job.
The Union street home looks very nice, but what do people think about this location? Union Street is pretty busy, no?
Thats $5,000 for 4 apts. Avg = $1250 each.
If take 2 floor for yourself – you end up with say $2700 rent. Mortgage is $4700 with $200k down. Taxes $180 month Util $350, Ins $150.
(BTW – propshark says 3 fam c/o)
Before taxes – thats about $2700 for owner.
If can live on 1 floor and rent out for few years-thats $1400 for yourself b4 tax. Not bad.
Am curious why the Greene Ave (Bed Stuy “West”) place is only $1 million – does seem like a good deal (esp. w/$5,000 rent roll).
I got that ass-backwards:
bed-stuy west or clinton hill east???
Bed-Stuy East or Clinton Hill West???
Also, FYI, this isn’t an openhouse, but I noticed the Clifton Place Corcoran listing has been reduced by 200k. Am I off-base to say that someone is must be smoking crack to ask 1.1 for a full gut property? I guess that’s the going rate….
That’s the thing with Corcoran, they convince the seller that they can get them an astronomical price, but then it sits on the market and they have to drop the price anyway to get it sold.
