My Name is Caesar Galindo Office manager, and Law Student at CUNY Law School.

I am from NY as well as you and the market in your area is holding up. I am very familiar with Brooklyn and it is still doing quite well in most areas. What area were you thinking of?

The investment market has never been better. But sometimes the best markets aren't in your backyard. If you're open to investing out of state, this may be of help.

While there are no guarantees in investing, the best way to anticipate the viability and potential of a market is to have solid, empirically sound data and research.

While employment drives population growth, it’s the intangibles that keep people in a particular neighborhood. So, in addition to market economics, the intangibles that make a community a highly-desirable place to live for a variety of demographic groups must be taken into consideration.

To thoroughly understand a market’s potential takes time and expertise. There are a number of factors to be considered to determine the future economic viability of a market, including:
• The natural path of growth within the metro
• The presence of large, sound, industry-diverse corporations
• Future plans for additional corporate entities
• Availability of State and Local government jobs
• The presence of cultural activities – music, art and nightlife
• Leisure interest and recreational activities, such as golf, hiking and athletics
• The development of retail outlets and restaurants
• The quality of local school systems
And beyond the market it's important to understand neighborhoods to know which will flourish and the type of homes that will appreciate.

We recognize a few markets based on their unique fundamentals: Austin, Atlanta, Albequerque, Portland and Raleigh.

Hope that helps.

Hi Bill, consider looking in the Ditmas Park area or the Crown Heights area. Both neighborhoods provide more square footage for your dollar spent.

I'm currently living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I'm interesting investing a rental property, specifically condo, for approx 350K. I would like to know which neigborhood would be best for this type of investment within my price range. Thanks.

Hi Bill:
Are you investing for rental property or will you be making it your primary residence? What neighborhood do you live in now? We cant answer the rest of your question because we don't know where you are.

Give us some more info - and a local trulia agent will surely chime in and give you some great advice.

Where are you considering investing? Remember it is always location, location, location.

It's a great time to be investing in real estate - no matter where you are located. You may want to do some research on the rental market where you are plqnning to invest.....will you be able to cover your mortgage/taxes/insurance with a renter? If not, can you afford the monthly deficit?

Bill, which state and city are you in?
