  1. Right, tybur6? Stigma like a mofo.

    Ask > 2x highest Brooklyn comp. Almost 3x highest Brooklyn condo comp.

    “Abehsera declined to state the terms of the deal, but offered, ‘it would be easy to rent it for $60,000 [per month], I’ll tell you that much.'”

    10 x 60K x 12 = $7.2M. -71.2% fundamental re-valuation. Ouch! 25 mil = 35x annual rent, twice prevailing of 16x.

    This mystery on-the-fence-RTOer is no fool. Otherwise he would have chomped into that 25 mil lure (outlier, right?). He knows where the market is headed. He’s smart $.

    ***Bid half off peak comps***
