@Katrina I moved to Eugene Oregon from Manhattan NY to attend architecture school at UO.

His son Donald followed with some much more high-profile projects in Manhattan.  

. $600k, ideally post-improvements- 2/3/4 units (occupy 1 unit, rent the others)- Off-street parking (garage or driveway)- Reasonably safe neighborhood - closer to Manhattan is better, but we would like to feel safe- Neighborhoods in the process of gentrifyingThanks all!

Hello everyone,I'm a IT professional who just moved into Manhattan from the Caribbean as a recent graduate.

I worked at a large investment firm in Manhattan for 7 years before venturing out on my own. 

Just from looking on Zillow there were literally hundreds and hundreds of homes listed for sale in the city, rivaling even Manhattan.

I will be working in Manhattan--very exiting!  

Great access to Manhattan and all that Queens has to offer.

@Jay Hinrichs@Jason LeeNYC is FAR different than any other City when it comes to Real Estate.There is no City Wide MLS but rather several MLS that a Brokerage can become members and NAR is not one of those.The MAJOR MLS's are:REBNY - Real Estate Board of NYThis one is for MOST of the expensive areas of Manhattan and BrooklynBrooklyn MLS - This one is for the other areas than the expensive areas of BrooklynLong Island MLS - This one is used primarily for Queens, NYCStaten Island MLSThen there is StreetEasy, Craigslist, etc.Because there are SO many MLS.... it is easy for a Broker to list their Property on one MLS and then not follow the rules of the other MLS that they belong to.I don't think Jason really understands the level of corruption and Games that Brokers play.Because I started a Brokerage as I became a Broker and I have been an Investor for 21 years in the Brooklyn Market, I have seen a LOT of it.I thought I really understood it until I opened up the Brokerage Office.Now I think I got a full understanding and I know what to do to ensure I am fully insulated from the Games that are being played.Brooklyn, if not all of NYC, IS the Wild, Wild, West of Real Estate.I resolved a very difficult situation just recently involving a $400k Earnest Money Deposit.

I live in NYC and work in Manhattan, where rents are among the highest in the nation, and the requirements are just as strict here.
