Then I looked at all 60 zip codes and analyzed the lease price per square foot and cost per square foot and worked backwards to find out several zip codes to watch for multifamily properties.

I work in the IT field and have been interested in real estate for the past 5 years but didn't know enough about it and how to get my foot in the door.

It was 1.39 a foot including the pad or whatever underneath.  

I was looking to buy a home for for myself like every ordinary person would but after reading this forum i thought even if i am a regular home buyer i can treat it as an investment, Now property in brooklyn queeens is expensive.But is cheaper in long island, westchester and surrounding counties(not exactly cheap but compared to square foot in nyc)Although property is expensive in NYC, taxes are way cheaper compared to all surrounding areas even including counties in nj.Using staten island as an exampleBecause in bk or queens you wont get as big of a home for that price.So if i had a 750k investment i would be paying around 7k a year in taxes and theres a slight chance of appreciation as well over there.Compared to say in nassau county a 750k home would be about 14-15k tax a year.

Since the ground is likely to be covered with a foot of snow, there is no plan for the exterior aside from what I've already mentioned.

Many landlords/investors are currently waiting to see what color Allure will be on sale at Home Depot during the Black Friday sale.Like David O we purchased the dark cherry; ordered a couple thousand feet of it online at 99 cents a square foot; had it delivered and have placed it in several rental houses where it is still holding up well.Gail

that is funny that the original plan did have those closets, the door placement is probably because when full of clothes, the closets don't have walking room to the end, merely 'reaching' room.the 4 foot shelf of wasted space is probably meant for extra linens/towels/etc. it is odd that you have to go through a bathroom to get to that back room. that wasn't thought out very well.

And we felt like it may help us get that higher dollar per square foot that our realtor thinks we could get with this place, because it is overall very cute.
