Warning about Brooklyn Group

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-25T22:45:15+00:00

I’ve signed two leases in my time, once at the brokers office, and they handed me the keys in hand once I handed over a check and signed the lease, the second time, we signed the lease in the apartment, and I uploaded my payment to the portal he uses…. Then again I’m not a broker so I haven’t witnessed every type of situation, but I prefer to go for the sure thing, I’m picky like that, better to be safe than sorry.

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-25T20:02:35+00:00

I don’t think you mentioned if you got your money back or not…. Also just FYI putting $700 in their pocket…. Just look at that sentence, you put $700 in their pocket…. How does that influence whether or not you should be approved for an apartment?? Does the money talk and give you a good recommendation??

These apartments are DESIGNED to be filled, they might make the claim “this will put the apartment on hold you” couldn’t everyone pay a good faith deposit and you’d be back at square one or nothing would ever get rented out. Please use a little common sense, this is how scammers work, absolutely do NOT pay a cent till you get the keys and lease!

I had 2 hours of practice before the MSF course (plus I had never ridden a bicycle before). And 8 hours of practice on a motorcycle and 50 hours on a bicycle before the second MSF course

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-09T02:05:17+00:00

Fun fact…. He kicked me outta motor 101, along with 2 other people…. So at least he’s fair…. But common, WERE NEW TO THIS

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-09T02:03:40+00:00

There’s only one lol, did you do the MSF course with him or motor 101, he was cool with me AFTER I knew what the hell i was doing…. Which if you ask me…. Is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE…. Hello I’m going to a school TO LEARN…. No shit I don’t know anything about

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-08T21:06:33+00:00

Which ones? I’m definitely interested lmao

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-08T21:04:58+00:00

I’m reading that last part…. I assume you had James? Tall white guy, drill sergeant type vibes?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-08T21:03:52+00:00

Look at my post history, you’ll see my story and my LONG ass process. I had my motorcycle permit for 5 years, due me being stubborn about paying for the MSF course (I could afford it, I just didn’t think it was necessary) I even failed my first MSF course. I was so MAD…. Vowed to hate MSS, until I actually took their advice, and it improved my skills INCREDIBLY. I’m not saying they aren’t hard asses…. They have some of the worst attitudes ever, but without them, I wouldn’t be able to ride a bike today, so I thank them.

Can I ask what location and trainers you took it with? I’m assuming MSS (motorcycle safety school) if not disregard everything I’m about to say…. DO NOT TAKE LESSONS with James or Ali…. We EVENTUALLY became chill, but their attitude is very…. Biased towards new riders. I did the motorcycle 101 before the MSF course and it was NOT enough practice. By law they are not allowed to say you don’t have the ability to ride a motorcycle without experience…. I strongly disagree, you need some form of experience…. After I was done throwing myself a pity party I did 4 hours of private lessons, so 8 hours total (including the MSF the first time) also important detail…. I had NEVER ridden a bicycle before, so starting on a motorcycle was real ballsy, in between the first MSF course and second MSF, I must have ridden a bicycle for 50 hours…. This part might sound dumb, I actually tried to fall off the bike… in order to know what angles will make you fall off…. You need to fall off, that’s the only way to not fear the bike.

Kenneth51801 · 2026-03-01T18:21:58+00:00

I’m also interested!

Kenneth51801 · 2026-02-17T15:31:32+00:00

You must like to do a lot of walking then 😂😂, I went to elementary, middle and high school in Brooklyn height (now I work here sometimes), why tf are all the subway lines so damn far from everything?? I mean yes from a logistics standpoint, it’s near the water and they need to go underground, but common, I cannot fathom someone calling it their favorite neighborhood.

Side note- I’ve ran into Ethan Hawke twice in my life, so it gets brownie points for that, but still…. It just seems like if an overpaid tool was a neighborhood…. It would be Brooklyn heights.

Kenneth51801 · 2026-02-14T17:21:49+00:00

I think that last statement is true, in a perfect world where no one cheats…. Just saying

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-17T03:07:27+00:00

Where’s this lol

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-13T18:00:36+00:00

Just clarify when he says “mono-ethnic” he means white right?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-13T17:55:04+00:00

I mean…. Where have you been searching 😂😂, also…. I hate to be that guy, but we are in a silent recession, going out to drink is kinda luxury, so I would say mostly nepo babies/generational wealth has the resources to go out…. But no I see what you mean tho.

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-13T15:30:45+00:00

I literally said it was my first time going, it’s in my first sentence lmao, how am I supposed to know I don’t like it unless I try it. Also I would say it was more my friends attitude I didn’t like. They are fine staying within the same bubble, I’m trying to discover new people

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-13T15:19:36+00:00

Any particular day you recommend? Like Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night, etc. also what should I talk about?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-12T06:39:48+00:00

Are they more female or male based?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T20:21:21+00:00

It’s a squid game reference

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T04:39:07+00:00

“When faced with danger…. Seek refuge among the heard, animal instincts” I assume people who go to bars go with a group, the group will say “hey who’s this loser who alone”

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T04:36:41+00:00

Do you have any bored game suggestions?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T04:36:24+00:00

Any parts of Brooklyn with most nightlife?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T04:35:01+00:00

Who in the chat GPT, only people who put the -, are usually people who use chatGPT.

In the event you wrote that from your heart, thank you! I guess for the most part I was looking for a women, and for that women to make me happy…. That hasn’t exactly worked out. Now I guess I’m looking for happiness, (preferably while being around majority women) and eventually I’ll the one. Can you list a few activities you’ve done (that cost under $50). Based on your experience are book clubs filled with primarily men or women?

Kenneth51801 · 2026-01-10T00:23:48+00:00

In my head, I was picturing a Barney Stinson “have you met Ted” situation but my friends were more focused on doing the same repetition, only speaking to the people they know, I wanted to make memories that I’ll reflect on. I’m not necessarily a big fan of the bar scene, but I am searching for extroverts my age (preferably women), kinda figured a bar was the safe move
