I live in Brooklyn, NY.

are you GC from brooklyn?

I of course would find something that covers expenses but it doesn't appear possible based on my recent search (in Brooklyn or anywhere else in NYC, aside from maybe Canarsie which I don't see changing quickly) My gut feeling is that it still probably is worth it for the long run, but maybe I'm just speculating on appreciation of this part of the neighborhood (southern Bushwick has not had bars/restaurants until less than a year ago and it seems like they're coming at a fast pace), although I would like to hear some opinions on this (would be madness in other markets but maybe in NYC, one cannot expect immediate cash flow?)

I have a roofer in brooklyn if you want to get another quote he did my roof for $2200 for 720sf this year.

I actually just flagged couple of properties in Evansville today that work out to about the same numbers.Side note - I am your neighbor now - I just moved to Brooklyn last week.

I work primarily in North NJ as well as Brooklyn and Queens - sometimes Manhattan, sometimes Long Island (I'm a field rep).

I currently have one single family home in Brooklyn Park and one duplex that my wife and I owner occupy in Minneapolis.

I'm getting lots of support to crowdfund a 2 family in Brooklyn and turn into an "experience" that I can live in and share with others.  

Found a vacant lot here in Brooklyn that looks like a great deal; still running the numbers.

Brooklyn center, ah, probably 1650-1800 range.
