Ok, I could totally deal with this! For that price, I’ll strip some more molding and mantles. This home is a bit far east in Bed Stuy (Bainbridge at Ralph) but the more desirable parts of the neighborhood are still going for about $200k more than this baby.

This is looking familiar to me. I may have posted it some time ago. This house totally rocks! I’m not all that familiar with The Bronx, so maybe the area isn’t great. Also, with a single family, that mortgage is more difficult to cover. I always prefer a little help from the tenants.
This house has some sweet interior details. And who doesn’t love a front porch? Alls ya need is an American flag and some lemonade and you’ve got it made in the shade!
$699k: Bed Stuy 2 Family
Won’t you be my neighbor? They’re calling this “Stuyvesant Heights”. Well, Stuyvesant Heights it’s not, but it IS on my block. And FYI, that’s BETTER than Stuy Heights! No, not because you can come over and borrow my power tools. Because it’s one A Express stop closer to civilization.
