Any of these look like good deals?
Too high. You can find FSBO rentals (no fee) for 25% less for the same space if you watch CL regularly and move quickly. The key is moving quickly and having all your docs ready. Owners appreciate that and sane ones are prepared to collect less rent for zero fuss tenants.
Don’t pay a broker 12% of the first year.. just setup a CL search and add the RSS feed, and then be quick to phone to see the 1 or 2 likely ones that turn up each day. Know how to use propertyshark and google maps and you won’t waste trips, you’ll be doing a better job than any rental broker can do for you.
my 300sf north slope studio rents out for 1700 a month.
these are real prices, folks.
And I am a brownstone owner with two rentals in mine (I think the 3,000 sq ft we have left to live in is large enough!) So thank you, Mr Brownstoner, for keeping me appraised of rental prices.
And for those who’re complaining – if you don’t like the thread don’t read it!
Please tell me that you don’t still do window a/c units in new construction in New York?
It’s also about a love of Brooklyn brownstone neighborhoods, which is possible whether you rent or own.
What’s wrong with looking at the rental market? As far as I can tell, this site is about Brooklyn real estate, (which btw, very much includes the rental market) and anything that might pertain to living in Brooklyn in general.
So stop being so miserable, you miserable commenting tards.
Who cares about rentals? I thought this was supposed to be a serious real estate blog.
sorry these are off the mark.
stop posting this shit because then owners think they can get way too much for their shitty 800 sqf basement and some idiot will rent it. And someone who rented a place in crown heights for 2100 is an idiot. You can get 800 sqf in Prime Park slope for $2400 if you even try and less in prime Prospect heights.
also not everyone wants a 30 year mortgage. Not everyone enjoys living in a single place for their entire lives.
yr city’s a sucker
Um, we’ve written about rentals before and we’ll write about ’em again. What’s the problem?
