Hi all,I'm looking at buying a duplex in Old Brooklyn. 

Quote from @Brooklyn McCarty: I don't have back up cleaners.

However, the MF price in my area (Brooklyn,NY) is ridiculous, everything is $1M+.What's your prior experience?

Quote from @Brooklyn McCarty: Sorry you had a bad experience!

I will be heading back with what I need to replace the steps now instead of letting them go another year.I also second @Brooklyn McCartys suggestion on January.

I remember when my area in Brooklyn was like this... i will stop there.

Hi All - We live in Manhattan currently and are looking to buy a MF in Brooklyn.

I want to invest in a triplex/fourplex in either Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx.

However, because there were 3, if only one had been built, there is no doubt there would be really great appreciation.As it turned out, all 3 of them were built or is in some part of almost finished.The Clinton Hill/Fort Greene Brooklyn area skyrocketed and those 3 projects definitely had a positive impact on all of North Brooklyn resultant appreciationi.Real Example:2003 in Clinton Hill - bought for $890k it is now worth close to $3 Million2004 in Clinton Hill - bought for $590k (plus $275k reno) now worth $2.4 Million2008 in Clinton Hill - bought for $1.2M (plus $500k reno) now worth $2.8 MillionThis is all INSPITE of the 2007/8 financial crisis.But again, this is NYC.

I noticed that you are from Brooklyn, ah the Bronx (HA), as well.
