Miss your First place? Why did you move? My first place was an 1800 square ft fixer and it cost us $67K (not NYC). It had 3 beds/2 baths, a huge yard and solid construction. We DIYed the reno and it was very nice when done. We moved because the new buyer of the house next door was a plasterer and he liked to mix up his plaster, in HUGE mixer, under our window at 6 am. Every. Single. Morning. What was your first place, and why did you move?

Be careful asking loaded poll type questions or this thread might get hijacked and end up on BrickUnderground.

$250/month N. 8th Street, Wmsbgh. I should have bought the building, with garage that had recently been converted into landlord's apartment...I would have unconverted it.

You sure I wasn't the fact your wife's breast started having plaster residuals, the plasterer just bougt his 4bdrm for $50k and this time your muggers didn't at least lead you $.50 to get back home?

I did keep my first place. A co-op studio on 5th Ave and 9th St. It's vacant at the moment (except for occasional visiting relatives) but we sublet every couple of years.

but will the coop wipe your ass and give you money for groceries? or will the relatives that stayed a few times give you the premium cat chow?

Meh, seeing how people treat each other when you get old.... I'd rather be a prick with a bag of cash telling the 20yo stacked nurses to wipe my azz.... cause you see 2007 was the greatest NYC RE BUblble retirement gift EVER EVER (it bears repeating... EVER!!!)..... anything you could get from a sale today going forward will be just a shadow of the nice retirement you could've had.....

Should've sold my commercial RE and bought apple... in 2000 FK FKF FK FK FK FK FK .... FK ME with a pineapple. FK ME....
