That A&P was basically Shoprite but with 30% - 50% higher prices. Hard to believe a new business will follow the exact same losing model without making much change. Maybe the change is slow to come.

Also, many (most?) brownstones are two families with a rental apartment in the basement/ground floor.

You can figure on renting out the basement to cover property taxes as a rule of thumb.

Robin.

This is only applicable if you wish to have a tenant. I have no such desire. I rather be able to afford a place without relying or needing supplemental income.

I understand prices can vary a lot depending on condition/size of the property. But I'm just trying to get a ball park so I know whether we can afford a brownstone on 1-income or 2-income. Sounds like it will most likely be a 2-income type of deal.

Good move going with the plain as the toasted garlic and your digital rectal exams were not helping that lap dog.

@ MikeyTBC, LOL, just stated my opinion. If you prefer eating your food with cats lying on the counter tops. Dirty windows, Beat-up floors, and dingy looking kitchen. Then enjoy! Not for me.

as this issue is researched, no question, all others things aside, given the number of condominiums in Jersey City, we need the city to amend the proposed ordinance to ensure that that a condominium or home owner association's master deed and by-laws will preempt the ordinance. we need it to be explicit and NOT left to litigate leaving it up to the courts to decide for us.

I think someone could have a decent business as an air bnb middle-man. Do the booking for a small property owner, coordinate housekeeping, arrange for key delivery etc.

Some people actually make a living doing exactly what you describe. This is particularly helpful/important when you own in an area far from where you live. In general, people who do a lot of AirBnB rentals (say, those who have three or more properties) or who aren't around enough to keep an eye on things (think someone in NY renting a place out in CA) have to hire a rental manager to help keep things moving along smoothly. My understand is that they usually cost around 10% of your rental income. Money well spent if you budget accordingly.
