Coop rules, good or bad for investing?

Andrusha Bohackova answered:
Ther are a lot of coops that have more flexibility than the building you mention. From my experience buyers are always looking to have some flexibility on being able to rent out at some point.....Even if for a year or two within a certain period of time , which is not uncommon for coops to allow. My assumption would be that it would definitely reduce the pool of potential purchasers down the line when you want to sell and it is something to seriously consider against how much you love the property and it's other values. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 16:18

505 west 47 is mostly contracted. Not that many units left. I was in the sales center a couple of weeks ago with my buyer who liked it a lot , but as they were looking to not only rent out and also use as occasional pied-a-terre for themselves they opted for a more central loocation. The basic units were priced little over 1000/foot ( not considering the larger more extravagant units on high floors , amenitied units, and the penthouse etc. ) - Thu Jun 19 2008, 15:58
I think this is a great area for investment as any other where the neighborhood is going through redevelopment and is improving. It is the continuation of the west 30s / North Chelsea which still is growing as well. Isn't the Highline Park going to end all the way on 42nd street ? It will end right there somewhere. The 50s have already improved a lot in the recent years and still are. If you are interested in buying and renting out right away then you definitely want to consider the rents being lower for a while due to any surrounding construction, the fact that the location is far west and the fact that the neighborhood is yet to live up to its full potential. I would most definitely plan to hold the property long term though. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 15:39

we are moving to Newyork

Andrusha Bohackova answered:
Actually, it is a little different when it comes to having a buyer's representation - strictly in NYC and I do believe this applies to Brooklyn as well.
Vast majority of legitimate brokers in NYC are members of Real Estate Board of New York. ( REBNY). According to REBNY 's rule/agreement their members work under the folowing model: Seller's broker represents the seller , the broker who brings the buyer automatically represents the buyer. About 90% of all transactions in New York City happen with 2 brokers. As long as your broker is a member of REBNY you have representation with all loyalties to you. I am pretty sure this does not apply outside of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Here is members on rebny weblink http://www.rebny.com/members_websites_residential.jsp - Thu Jun 19 2008, 15:12
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your search and the purchase process in NYC. Looking at properties is one thing but there is a lot more involved. Especially for a newcomer. Preparation is key in being able to to move forward and to be able to secure the right apartment once you find it. I am currently working with someone who is not from the US and it is definitely a more complex process..........
Please feel free to contact me any way convenient to you at any time. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 14:03

Buying in a walk up?

Andrusha Bohackova answered:
Generally , when buying in a walk up you do want to take into a consideration that it can be harder to sell down the line. There are many people that will want/need an elevator and so the pool of potential purchasers is definitely smaller. However, this is Park Slope where people want to be precisely for the fact that it is all brownstones and townhouses and not that many large buildings and people who want to live there are prepared to walk up a couple of flights and live the small building life style.................This is Park Slope which is a highly desirable neigborhood with limited inventory, so I think that moderates the resale concern a lot. Just because it has been on the market for a while it does not mean there has to be something wrong with it ( other than the price at which it was listed maybe :) ) .
If you love the apartment and the neighborhood there will be someone else down the line who will feel the same. So ............as long as you can get it for a good price I would not worry so much about it being a walk up.
Also, if it is a good investment will depend on numerous factors besides the purchase price and the fact that it is a walk up building. I can email you comparable listings in the area and sold info if you want. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. - Thu Jun 19 2008, 14:31
