What type of real estate do you do in long island?

looking at rentals only - lets say your strategy is to purchase to hold and rent - thus sucking up appreciation, depreciation and cash flow, tax benefits etc.rents usually are comparable to values in the area OR they're less (not good - see Long Island, New York).

Remax for instance is one of the largest franchises.....well , actually the largest that has a culture of charging desk fees (Although it isn't the case for every single one.)The lowest i've heard for that particular brokerage is $600 per month and you don't have any office , just the website and virtual support.

Our main development at the moment is called Pacific Palm, however a project that is in our pipeline is Blue Island.

And remember any island needs 4 edges which can be costly if you use an high dollar edge.

Knowing that if I fail its my own da*n fault-- Many people might see this as the huge disadvantage of real estate, but I see it as one of the largest plusses.
