@Erik Whiting your explanation is very good, unfortunately in Elmhurst (Queens) NY it already happened.

Some agents hit the streets better in the Brooklyn, Queens and Bronx markets, and that will also be a determining factor for you. 

@Elizabeth L.

These bigger brands (7/11, dairy queen, subway, walmart, mcdonalds etc) conduct an extensive amount of research before deciding to break ground. 

I've been pre-approved for a 2 family in Queens , Ny for 750k , I'm looking to house hack .

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.

I'm an owner of a brick two family home, but with the layout of a three family in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens NY.

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. 

I’m currently living in Queens, but willing to move to make this more feasible.
