To each his own, I have lived in Brooklyn, NY almost all my life (even during the crack era 90's) so downtown Allentown is mild compared to my experiences in Brooklyn.

When they move, they want to recreate Brooklyn hipster life as much as possible, so that means walkability and being able to do things without a car.  

I've lived in Southern California and Brooklyn and never saw such diversity as I do where I am in China Town now (Bellaire and Beltway 8).

It means the quality of the Rents and the Quality of the Value of the Investment.In other words, when there is upcoming danger, the Market has a flight to safety.That's why I only Invest in Quality Markets.... of which I consider Brooklyn to be one of them.I've survived very nicely over two decades.If vacancies go up in NYC in general goes up, if it goes from it's current vacancy level of 3%, a crash would bring it to say, 5% or 7%.I'll survive another one easily.

We live in Brooklyn, NY. 

Homes in my area of Brooklyn can go from 375 for a single family to 750+ for 2 family.or 1 million + for 3 family Brownstones in need of rehab

Hello my name is Elmer Mata,I am a young ambitious 21 year old that for the longest time have been researching real estate investment opportunities but never knew how to break into the field.I have been rolling around...

few hours ago i did some drive-bys for some buyers to scope out if these properties might work for them.back in nyc, rarely ever come across a residential lot with more than 1 freestanding dwelling on it. heck, in brooklyn, and manhattan, most are rowhouses anyways.but here (long beach, lakewood, san pedro, and sometimes signal hill at least) it seems almost normal for properties to have a 'front house' and a 'back house' and sometimes 3. when i first moved here several months ago, alot of times when i had food delivery the courier would call to tell me they are minutes away and ask if its the front house or back house, as if customary.how customary is it?
