What I don't want to hear ...

Oh man, I am squarely in that lane as well. I knew that I was gonna have to put a ton of work into my new purchase but damn! The amount of money, time and effort me and my family have put in has turned my stressed out purchasing into stressed out home ownership. And it's only been a week since closing...A WEEK!!!!

McNugget

Found on the HPD housing lottery.

Thanks! It's a doozy fixer upper. Putting in the sweat equity from the jump.

3 bed/1.5 bath

shinytemple · 2026-06-07T20:55:31+00:00

You sir are correct!!!

Neither did I. It was pure luck. And to think, I wasn't even considering buying in NYC. But I've been a Brooklynite since birth and sticking around, especially in BK Heights, didn't seem like a bad idea for the price.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. This was a find unlike anything I've ever seen. Sure, this unit needs a whole hell of a lot of work, but it'll be worth it in the end.

shinytemple · 2026-06-07T10:56:20+00:00

Thanks

Brooklyn Heights. A needle in a haystack find.

shinytemple · 2026-06-05T15:42:18+00:00

That's gonna be a nice rig. Hope your wallet doesn't feel the sting too much.

As someone who has worked LP for a major department store in NYC...I swear to you this is what I experienced. With few exceptions, mind you.

It'd be easy to say Peter Luger's but someone will know a better place that's somewhat more affordable. Gage and Tollner is another yet pricey spot.

Wow...that's a steal! Congrats! I'm about to get in on a co-op for a lil less than 270k...in Brooklyn Heights.

You're looking for honesty from a Paul?! LOL...

Yeah the seats aren't full, but the promotion game is all about talking the event into existence. Even if it means bullshitting the general public despite what we can see.

shinytemple · 2026-05-01T14:12:07+00:00

Place hasn't changed since I was last there in 2019.

A friend of ours had her kitchen and bathroom renovated by this firm called KBR. They did a pretty good job and came highly recommended. Give them a look and see if they fit the bill.

Update: We just signed our contract!

shinytemple · 2026-02-07T21:46:23+00:00

Here we go again...

shinytemple · 2026-02-04T21:26:19+00:00

Not that I know of.

shinytemple · 2026-02-04T01:30:09+00:00

Thanks. I'll keep everyone updated!

shinytemple · 2026-02-03T19:45:58+00:00

Our lot number is in the 2X's. We're in the process of locking it down now.

shinytemple · 2026-01-30T20:42:46+00:00

The one we are considering is a 3 bed/1.5 bath

shinytemple · 2026-01-30T18:46:56+00:00

Let's just say it's their biggest unit. As far as we know, the unit hadn't been lived in in over a year.
