Me and my girl been looking for Condos in BK at first. BK prices are just too outta control. We about to put in an offer for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo or 1 bedroom in that same building out in Corona. Don't plan on being in nyc more than 2 more yrs but the 1-bedrooms sell quicker.

I Lived On 183rd Pretty Much My Whole Live, 183rd & Walton Was The Worst Block I've Probably Lived On, Although Evelyn Place In The 90's Was Pretty shytty
So I was at a housewarming in fort green last night, and a majority of white folks. It looks like one project(public housing complex) got bought and turned into co-ops out there. Crazy shyt is that usually pj's have courtyards in the center of all the buildings. Check this shyt out, since the changed it the center of the courtyard is a big octagon bullet proof glass thing that has 2 security guards in. Once you're inside you have to sign in and the security guard has to open the door from the inside with a key in order to let you out of the octagon thing so you can go to the intended building. The inside of the building I was in looked kinda dingy, but the chik's apt who had the party had a huge 1 bedroom. Chik is paying $700k for it. Crazy thing is that the complex is gated up on the outside and it's right across from some other projects.

Ock from the bodega broke it down to me...
He said NY treats small businesses the same way as big businesses...As far as taxes etc goes..Thats why the Arabs are playing the game at a "different"level by renaming and rebranding stores...
Also if your in a "prime"area, the landlord will basically try to get you out of there by raising rent...
161st got the courts as well as the office building and the dope fiends who will all spend...Not to mention the crowds who are in the area...

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
This is why ultimaltley I might just leave NYC. Rent in Queens is ok but that is unsustainable. I am planning move to the ATL in the next 4 years. It is not worth it. I and my lil bro got a buisness idea in real estate but we went to an REIA meeting and alot of folks are saying try New jersey or CT cuz in NY its over saturated and only the big boys play. They say the south is better. Saw alot of folks with property in NC,Memphis,VA,PA etc. Large majority of them were black and they didnt deal in NYC cuz its hard. The REIA meeting was cool.
It's not a game no more
