This market is the new normal dude. Ehhh at least in the short term. Building slowed up. I remember back in 07 I would drive the Con Ed van down 6th Ave, and every 3 blocks was a crane hanging off a new condo. Those are done and occupied now. BK is nuts but if you get a brownstone and keep 1 floor rented you mite be straight. Youre gonna be paying like $1K maintenance anyway, you can prob just link with a maintenance company and not worry about your shyt while youre away. Who maintains your other spots?

Yeah. There isn't a lot of new building, but there is a lot of conversions to condo. At the same time NYC I've read is a city with one of the most cranes up in the world currently. Things seem to be picking up big time this spring, noticed it other places as well in the region. Things usually pick up when it gets warm here though. The low interest rates and tax returns are probably playing a part. Not sure how long the rates will last. A lot of the brownstones need gut renovations or are in bedstuy/bushwick the costs add up quick. You would also be hard pressed to get 2/3k a month in them. The ones worth buying are more than I can spend. Taxes aren't as bad as I imagined they would be which is nice. I take care of most of it, and have people to call as necessary. They basically run themselves... I'm sure I'm oversimplifying it.
Naw... As far as I remember, Steinway was always a sort of melting pot... Bunch of Greek restaurants and stuff. I never hung out there tough like that, but I never saw it as a black neighborhood. Always mainly Greek. Unless Steinway runs all the way up to Queensbridge Houses

yall have the most BEAUTIFUL city ive ever seen, and contrary to beliefs not everyone is a$$holes, its just to fast to be as personal as down south, speaking, eye contact, etc...

OH shyt, If East NY gets taken over, then its truly a wrap. Then the BX would be a cakewalk to take over afterwards.

When East NY gets completely taken over 10 years from now, nikkas are really gonna be
and probably be forced to live down south, or CT.

Only because the most of the projects are there. Tear them down and anything can happen.
