The same thing happened In my condo that I purchased in the South Bronx in 2018. The taxes went up heavily in 2019 and we (the entire building) hired an attorney to fight the tax increase. Unfortunately we are still fighting it with no real progress in the last six months.


On another note, have you applied for the star credit? Assuming you live in the property this credit is a good way to decrease your taxes by 20%.

Has anyone found a better alternative to Property Shark for pulling property data?

Hi BP friends, I usually use PropertyShark to examine and compare properties for my analysis.  Their fees are quite high ($129/ month) for the ability to pull up property details across the US.  Does anyone else recommend an alternative that is better priced, but equally as data heavy?  I use PropertyShark to find the lot size, previous/ current owners, square footage, sale history, ect... 

Thanks for your help.

@Bin Chen What type of assets have you be investing in up in Riverdale?  Have you thought about branching into Kingsbridge?  Also, areas like Mosholu Parkway, Morris Park, Pelham Gardens are solid neighborhoods in the North Bx

@Eric Ng Looking forward to it

@Yosef Lee thanks for sharing.  Are you planning to purchase more out there?  Who is doing your MGMT?  I know that is the biggest issue with investing from afar.

@Yosef Lee This is a great story!  I am also a New Yorker looking to invest in the Midwest.  How have the property been producing since you closed in 2020?  I assume you found a solid management company?

Hello Bronx enthusiasts.  Is anyone still holding in the Bronx?  Curious to hear your thoughts on the long term projection of the Bx.  I moved to Mott Haven a few years back, and the development in the area is insane.  What area's have you invested in?

@Eric Ng @Rong Tan @Akshay Nihalaney I'd be down to meet up for a pint and talk real estate.  How's the 17th around 6pm?
