I could get a Home in Riverside County, California which is 45 minutes from L.A. A four bed & three bath home 2 story for $700,000 with a large lot and a pool and 3500 sq feet of living space. Not only that the home is updated throughout with a beautiful kitchen. I like to get more bang for my buck.
Holy moly - grew up not far from that house in the Bronx. Constant loud music, and a commute to Manhattan that entails a bus and a long train ride. Three quarters of a MILLION dollars. We are doomed, man.
This was hard to choose, but it really depends whether the buyer is looking for a home or an investment home. The apartment in Brooklyn seems to be energy efficient, a savings in the long run. The Staten Island and Bronx homes are more for investors, but SI beats the BX because it is move in. The apartment in Queens is ok, I am just not a fan of Astoria. The Manhattan apartment seems to be in a fireproof building and it's close to everything. If the building is not charging assessment fee it may mean that it is financially strong or that it has some high flip taxes. I can't make my mind up on this one, but Brooklyn seems to be the best buy because the seller is deeding additional space via the front part of the unit which should mean that the owner will and can control what to put there.
The salaries haven't gone up to match up with these monthly expenses. I'm still seeing jobs that pay 45k per year. These spaces are reserved for the top tier earners and there aren't _that_ many of them.
The Staten Island property had an enticing listing price, however the Bronx property being a 2-family is a better investment. Like you mentioned, the downstairs could be used for a daycare. From what I remember, Laconia Ave. was a pretty chill area back in the day. Do you know if short-term rentals or airbnbs are allowed?
@@hejiranyc I don't have a problem with the Bronx. Lived there when I was younger, no problems at all. Been back several times as an adult, still cool.
It's not Hudson Heights, it's Washington Heights. I was born and raised there! (New York Presbyterian Hospital) which is literally down the block from that condo.
I would not consider the first 4 livable spaces. And considering the monthly payment still be around $5000 these are homes for people with a monthly income of $15000. And this is just crazy imagining that even people with a good income would need to live like this.
$750,000 for a tiny two bedroom apartment which needs $100,000 in updates? A $1,300 monthly maintenance? $5,000 a month in housing costs? Living in a high crime, sketchy neighborhood? Try taking the subway after rush hour. You need to send your kids to private schools. You need to make at least $180,000 a year for the luxury of living here. I lived in Manhattan for forty years, and moved out about ten years ago. Starting out I lived in the east forties in a large studio with a separate kitchen. I paid $280 a month and had no problem affording it on my starting salary. Ultimately rented another apartment, then bought a coop in the east 80s. If you can’t afford to live in New York, then don’t work there either. There’s no sense working a high stress job while living like a refugee.

property tax's?????? oh my gosh.... we pay rates in NZ, that's what goes to our local and regional councils... mine are $4,500 a year which are outrageous... .I can't believe what you guys pay a month!!!
I live in NYC. Been here since 1996. This is not a good time to buy any RE here. Housing is near its peak, and the city is about to experience a major economic collapse in another year or so. I'm talking high unemployment, a return of major violent crime, massive cuts in govt services, increased homelessness, the works. The city's renaissance that started in the 90s peaked during covid, and now the city is on the down swing.
$40k in closing costs is way way too high for a $700k property. I didn't hear mention of any abatements which this property definitely qualifies for. The Manhattan co-op is a big no no, first of all because it's a co-op. $100k for the bathroom & kitchen is the minimum. I'm from Staten Island, right there in Port Richmond which has changed a lot but still a nice neighborhood. I would try to buy one of the condos down by the ferry though. The Bronx: pass. Nothing to discuss The Astoria property is by far the nicest of the 5 but 150k down plus 36k closing is a lot for a unit this small.
Yuck yuck and yuck. It’s one thing to have a nice home. But in these neighborhoods, you are surrounded by such ugliness. It’s depressing! I’m in Manhattan now, and I have been looking for a townhouse somewhere in the boroughs. By and large, every house needs a gut renovation and/or is located in some gritty industrial area or some kind of bland tract housing development. Most neighborhoods are clogged with traffic and don’t get me started on crime, noise and pollution. Suffice it to say, I’m getting the eff away from NYC. I’ve had it dealing with the expense, ugliness, and the everyday indignities of filth, noise, crumbling infrastructure, crime, crazy people, woke libtards and entitled rich a-holes. I’m moving to a world class city with beautiful architecture in a gentile neighborhood that is relatively affordable and safe. Enough is enough.
@@ListedInTheSouth Georgetown, DC. Beautiful, historic neighborhood in the heart of the city but feels like a small village. Considered to be the "rich" nabe in DC, but it is way more affordable than Manhattan.
@@hejiranyc Just in case you didn't know, Georgetown is encased with constant tourist and shoppers, who think it's fun and cool to stroll your neighborhood streets at all hours of the day and night.
@@roundtwo3321ha ha. I used to be one of those tourists. I’m not moving to M Street. My house is on a quiet side street that is rarely traveled. I have no neighbors in front or behind me. It’s like being in the country but I’m still 1.5 blocks from Wisconsin Ave.
Man...750K in NYC and the surrounding boroughs.. can't get you anything worthwhile. ..whatta shame. Probably in Pennsylvania you get better bang for your buck...
I like these videos 😃. It's crazy to me that some realtors don't use social media to promote their listings, but, to each their own.
It's mind blowing!

Love your feedback. Thanks for watching!
Great video that gives you options in various boroughs - The taxes 😳 are criminal- how do people afford them on top of their mortgages? -
Agreed the taxes are high. Hopefully the salt tax deduction comes back

Love the passive building design.

I said somewhere in the video that New Yorkers call it Washington Heights but now it labeled as Hudson Heights
Great videos 👍🏽👍🏽. Thank you for doing this
Thank you for watching! Which price should I cover next?
@@justinmartineznyc 850k and 2 million!

The average is 5000 per month in manhattan.
The only property I like was the last one..🤷🏾♂️👌🏾
I'm bias to the last one :)
That's the one I liked too!

3:21 I hope in real wall there is a vapor and air barrier 😀
Wow, how just 20 minutes of driving reduces the price by about $30k
Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens 💯
Thanks for watching!
i need more of 500-600k range!!!!!! more realistic
we'll get more done
I liked the Brooklyn, Manhattan even though it would have to be updated, and Queens apt.
Thanks for watching and I agree!
Manhattan and Queens, only thing with the Queens one I don't care for Astoria, but I could live with it.
Thanks for watching!
Foreigner can buy? Or it just reserved for the locals?

Welcome to another video of “ things I can’t afford “ .
$40k in closing costs is way way too high for a $700k property.
I didn't hear mention of any abatements which this property definitely qualifies for.
The Manhattan co-op is a big no no, first of all because it's a co-op.
$100k for the bathroom & kitchen is the minimum.
I'm from Staten Island, right there in Port Richmond which has changed a lot but still a nice neighborhood. I would try to buy one of the condos down by the ferry though.
The Bronx: pass. Nothing to discuss
The Astoria property is by far the nicest of the 5 but 150k down plus 36k closing is a lot for a unit this small.
