@Jesse S.I have a portfolio of 10 small multi-family properties here in Brooklyn where the center point is Prospect Park.More specifically, I own properties in Ditmas Park, Windsor Terrace, Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy.Additionally, all 10 properties are between 2 to 4 Units, NONE are Rent Controlled or Rent Stabilized, and all have two or more Partners.The first property we bought was in 1997 in Ditmas Park.The last we bought we bought was in 2018 in Bed-Stuy right near the A-Train at Nostrand Ave stop.Acquisitions are on hold mainly because of very uncertain, unfriendly to Landlord politics.This past June, a suite of Renter Friendly laws were passed.Most of the changes strengthened the laws that were already here in NYC for Rent Controlled and stablized apts.However, other parts of the law affects every single rental, including non-regulated apts in the State of NY.
