Does anybody have any idea or estimate, as to how much a three story walk up fire escape would be for a building in Brooklyn , New York ?

21 years ago, I did EXACTLY what you mentioned in your first post.... bought a 2 family building in Brooklyn, lived in the basement and rented the other 2 apts, did not have cash flow but at least broke even.Back then, I bought the property for $340k with a Mortgage of $272k, fixed.That Mortgage is nearly gone and 21 years of rent appreciation has given me a very decent cash flow as the rents rose way above my mortgage and other expenses.This is NYC, it is normal for Market Rents to rise very consistently for a long period of time, barely dipping.That house is current worth $1.7 Million conservatively.

I'm a new investor from Brooklyn, NY, and I'm planning on investing in Newark, NJ.

My name is Nicholas Liappas and I'm a licensed real estate salesperson on the north shore of Long Island, servicing all of Long Island, Queens, and Brooklyn.

There are lots of people getting priced out of more expensive neighboring areas looking to rent in parts of Hudson County with a relatively short commute to NYC at a lower cost than Brooklyn, parts of Queens, Downtown Jersey City, etc. 

Reminded me of this great story:https://patch.com/new-york/carrollgardens/former-cop-worth-400m-after-brooklyn-real-estate-investments

I'm specifically seeking out for realtors in NY (Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx) with BRRRR experience and who would guide me through this process since the first house is always the hardest.

I'm a Graphic Designer from Sydney, Australia living in Brooklyn, NY.

I'm a new Real Estate Agent who has predominantly been working the rental market in New York (Brooklyn, Queens).

I saw a post on a Brooklyn meet but it was pretty old.
