I'm posting this question on behalf of a friend who is trying to buy his next property but is being denied financing some banks / lenders.He purchased 3 properties over the course several years before 2008 in Brooklyn NY (Bed-Stuy and nearby areas) before mortgage guidelines become much stricter.  

Can you guys who are brokers corroborate my feeling of a softening Brooklyn market?

It is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Brandon Morgan - I personally chose to do a house-hack in a 2 Unit Building in Bayridge Brooklyn so I did not have to deal with condo or coop rules.

Hello, I have 2 Multi properties in Brooklyn and looking for a reliable handyman to help get 4 of the apartments rent ready.

My limited journey in real estate has now led me to BP.A bit about my journey so far - I was finally able to purchase my first property in Brooklyn, NY several years ago.

Hi all - does anyone have a referral to a good handyman and/or locksmith in Brooklyn, NY?

Properties below this range can work as well but oftentimes are smaller in lot size, have less total bedrooms, less amenities (i.e. parking, laundry, storage), have more deferred maintenance, and/or have tenants paying below market rent.Properties above 900K can also be a good fit but may require a larger down payment in order for the #s to make sense for you.I always recommend speaking with a lender during these early stages as they will help you narrow your target areas after you get down payment, monthly payment and closing cost estimates to go along with your pre-approval.For examples on house-hack deals that we've closed with other BP members in Queens, Brooklyn, and Long Island, feel free to check out our team's page - https://www.biggerpockets.com/co/exp-realty-18.Best of luck to you moving forward!

I am sorry to very respectfully disagree as I was born and raised and have lived most of my life in Cleveland and the subs, there are many 4 units and smaller in the B class neighborhoods like Parma, Parma Heights, Brookpark, Fairview Park, North Olmsted and many others (even several areas of Cleveland proper like Westpark and Old Brooklyn) that would make great cash flowing and equity building house hacks.
