Hi, im curious to learn more about Brooklyn real estate. Which areas are more sought after and is it advisable to look into a Studio or 1 bedroom property? 2-bedrooms appear to be out of budget unless I look towards areas that are further commute from Manhattan.

Probably best to talk to a local real estate agent (or two) who has some expertise in the area.

Are you looking to buy a primary, or is this for investment?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
