But with 09-11, when the twin towers came trembling down, people were looking all over for commercial spaces and my dad rented a store to a wholesale travel agency, located in midtown Manhattan, that got displaced when downtown Manhattan tenants all started looking for space.With malls emptying out, I don't know how soon it will impact neighborhood stores.

Manhattan like the Los Angeles area, is home to a large population of foreign nationals, whether that be UN diplomats, recent arrivals who don't have credit.

Are you in Manhattan?

I have a great network of buyers and landlords I've developed over my career and typically have access to off-market properties and land deals in Brooklyn in addition Manhattan and Queens as well.  

The knee bone is connected to thigh bone is connected to the hip bone...basically all those neighborhoods are just far flung suburbs of Manhattan before you know it!

I work with investors & developers predominantly in Manhattan & Brooklyn.

In terms of area, Detroit is larger than San Francisco, Boston and Manhattan combined.

My name is Niall and I currently work as a media manager for a large marketing firm in Manhattan.

I am a real estate broker/investor in New York City focusing on my home sub-market of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 

With LIRR access into Manhattan, could be a place to expand within your budget.
