My parents are looking to buy a house in NYC - Queens or Brooklyn. They asked me to help the process. I’m renting myself, how does one begin with the looking process in NYC? Do you just look at Zillow? Or should they get a realtor? 🤷‍♂️

Start with Streeteasy, look around and start showing them things so that they can figure out how much they want to spend where.

I recommend Queens. Brooklyn is overpriced. Also, wait about six months. That’s when the fallout from the recession will really affect real estate prices.

I have a lot of friends who are real-estate agents if you guys need help! I’d look at sites like corcoron, realtor.com, zillow, redfin. I think finding a reputable realtor is your best bet. They’re going to do a lot of research on each building and steer you in the right direction.

House or apartment? Different ‘need to know.’ I’m president of my co-op board and understand that process really well.

And wait 6 months. Market is likely going to be a bargain.

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting.

I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
