Maybe BRKLYN or Queens. Read somewhere that the avg return on investment for a rental Manhattan unit is lower than a T-Bill.

Definitely not Manhattan. Terrible time to buy or rent lol

Definitely outer boroughs. Scooped up a place in Brooklyn earlier this summer and based on comps I’m already running at about 50-75k in positive equity. Even if you don’t plan to settle down somewhere just yet, consider an investment property.

Where in bk?

Bay Ridge for me. Bought a prewar coop but also a lot of single family homes and newer constructions that are shooting up in value. The Shore Road area in general is becoming more popular now that there’s a new commuting option (the ferry in the 60s).

Thanks. How’s the down payment look like? Heard it’s going to be at least 40-50% down payment for Manhattan. Not sure about outer boroughs.

I took advantage of the low rates and went with the 20% min, investing the rest. Manhattan is trickier because of a combination of very selective coop boards and very rich people (occasionally foreign investors) with deep pockets.

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.
