Bed-Stuy / Crown Heights / PLG

I was looking at both Bed Suy and Crown Heights for investment purposes and did not feel comfortable with the area. Being a landlord does not mean you do not have to go to your property. You might have to go at various hours during the day or night and my opinion is that both areas are NOT safe (yet). PLG is definitely better though.

I would suggest to go and check both neighborhoods before you make an investment. On the other hand, yes, I believe both neighborhoods will continue to increase in value.

BTW, I did not invest in Brooklyn - I bought a three family townhouse in Hamilton Heights and I am renting the apartments to two City University professors and one nurse at the Columbia University Medical Center. After doing some research, I found out that the quality of renters in Hamilton Heights is much better compared to Bed Stuy / Crown Heights.

Wishing you luck.

Thanks, John
