@Jay Hinrichs said in a post once about a person having a few Subway Restaurants.

The price was at least a $1000 dollars lower than other quotes we got.Quoted me:$1950 for everything that included:White Moon GraniteInstallation and Haul AwayA Free Single Sink and InstallationI'm planning on adding to the order:A Double Sink & Install +$350Plumbing +$250Granite Lip + $400Additional Total = $2950He also quoted me a subway tile backsplash for $2000, if I decide on that I'm going to try and talk him down.

I'm going to put white subway tile and dark grout in the bathroom.

If you do have the money, you have a choice to buy this opportunity or not.Essentially, all Investments are a risk.HOWEVER, the more research you do, the more you can reduce that risk.If you do your research and you find out that the adjecent neighborhoods have Gentrified and that they are NOW spilling into the Flatbush area AND you have noticed that the City has invested in public transportation (they opened up a new subway station in the Flatbush area), you can make a fairly intelligent guess that the high price will only get higher, recognizing it as an opportunity.However, if your research does NOT indicate that this property will be at a higher price in the future, and you do not buy this property, you can't get lucky here and have to look elsewhere.Now, let's say you recognized the opportunity AND you were prepared and you BOUGHT this 3 family investment in Flatbush.10 years later, that $1 Million purchase you made in the year 2020 is now worth $2 Million in 2030.What do you think your friends and family would say when you tell them that you bought your 3 Family Flatbush property for $1 Million 10 years ago and you made $1 Million in unrealized profits today in 2030?

Had a similar conversation with a realtor friend in Manhattan and she pondered the trade off between climbing up/down the elevator and walk 15 mins to the office OR live 45 mins away ioutside of Manhattan in a garden apartment or townhome and take a crowded subway to work everyday/twice a day to get to work.

Look, this isn't Subway.

Subway x blocks (what stop/line). 

Quality shelving up against a white subway back splash. 

It has basic design information that'll help sell a property such as using subway tiles backsplashes, floor plans, granite vs quartz counter tops, colors to sell homes.

I have a rental bathtub (white) with white subway tile surrounding the tub.
