If you look up the buildings online and go to them IRL, actually walk around down there, you can just have management show you around various buildings and apartments. What they're doing is reworking old office buildings into residential towers. The main problem with this is that the buildings were never built with this many stoves in mind. You dig? They were offices, they buildings themselves were never designed with the sort of ventilation that's called for (maybe even required by code) in a residential tower block. What does this mean for you? Well, the hallways always smell weird. The stairwells usually smell weird. Sometimes everything outside of the individual apartments smells like pizza, because apparently DiGiorno is about as creative as anyone gets when their life revolves around chewing Adderall on the trading floor (right down the street).
The apartments also have a weird shape to them half the time: it's odd seeing lived-in apartments that are beset with some awful L shape and only two windows (both of which are often stunning). People try to wrap their lives around the shapes provided but there's never enough sun and far too much task lighting.
The newer buildings in Long Island City definitely have better layouts, but the problem there is that you're in Long Island City.

The apartments aren't that expensive, bro.. You can get a city view like OP pic in NYC for around 3-5 mil or so or less. Not much different than any other major city. Obviously the price goes up for floor space, but a two bedroom midtown apartment with a view is not major money. A hollywood hills or laurel canyon house or downtown apartment is going to be the same price.

This is obviously a Wilshire skyline in LA, you can see the fucking mountains in the background, and yet this thread turns into a New York thread. Typical New Yorkers, right..

I assume you mean a certain minimum of luxury and location. In 2005 I rented pretty decent financial district apts for between 2800-3800.
What you probably want would nowadays be 4 grand a month at the cheapest, up to 20,000 a month for the real heavy offerings.

They won't even rent you the apartment if you can't prove your annual income is at least between 46-50 times greater than the monthly rent.
If you don't make enough, you can pay the year in full ahead of time or find someone to be liable for the rent should you not make it. Those are your only options.

The gritty, fast, and unrelenting city life is so appealing to me. I would love to work on Wall Street, living in a apartment overlooking the city.

It really depends. A lot of landlords have requirements like this. A lot don't. It's up to the owner. The requirements are often higher in luxury buildings or Manhattan.

>>6657697
It's the landlord securing his investment. Running a large building isn't cheap and the margins are slimmer than you'd expect. Laws are VERY pro-tenant in NYC, and once somebody has been living in a place for two weeks the city considers them a resident there. Getting them out of that apartment can take months or years in L&T court. The easiest way to ensure you don't find yourself in this situation as a landlord is to only rent out your apartment to people with much higher incomes

Cafes bustling with life at every corner, cars and bikers and people everywhere. The city was so vast, old, and beautiful.

It can only go up bruv, if you have spare change invest in that shit now but realise you're gonna be in it for the long term.

The FTA with China-NZ has been working wonders and it's being used as a model for a potential one between us and them.

The Chinese have pretty much been single handedly pushing up the prestige market and apartments in Sydney...

It's great for cunts like my dad who have a decent real estate portfolio that's only gonna increase due to the Chinese... but it's kinda fucked to be honest because young people in general are feeling the pitch, it's fucking expensive as bullshit to live in Sydney even if you're on 100,000 (cause that become 60K after taxes).

i know these things can be iffy and im definitely not obliging you to anything so dont feel pressured ive already asked around a lot but youre p.knowledgeable so i would appreciate your advice aswell

atm number crunching etc the property ^ 7%p.a over the last 10years.
would it be wise to think it would continue at the same rate for the next 10years? (i know there's heaps of shit to consider but just wondering if it would be a reasonable assumption)
it jumped 150k~ in less than a year

true but not everyone can afford a property to meet their means.

>>6662655
depends on the interest % and growth rate of the property.
if you're living in the property you're effectively only getting a profit in what comes out of the growth rate.
because the loan has a interest you best hope that by the time you pay your mortgage the property has grown enough to pay be worth more than the interest.

you also need an equity as a sort of 'trust' for the bank to drain out of if you fail on repayments - crashes etc

In many communities, it does. It's at least a partially shared income. Your parents support you, and you support your parents when you can. America just loves the idea of throwing out their kids and severing all contact with them except on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then the kids get into lifelong debt scrambling for an education and shunt their frustrations on to their own kids to continue the cycle of forever middle-class three to four person families.

Even without thinking about profit. When you buy you have equity. You're putting money into something. Whether the value grows or not is irrelevant because you get back what you've put in. Something that will never happen with rent. Even if you're losing 3% a year on a 500k loan you're basically renting a $1400 a month house for $350 in lost interest. Renting is for suckers. If you can't afford to buy move or make more money.

That's not how mortgage rates work my man. It's the rate (3%) / 12 (months) = 0.25 on top of your regular 30 year payment. Which for 500k is 1380 + interest is 1730.

But, because that first 1380 is going to principle and equity which comes back when/if you sell the house. Even if property value doesn't raise you're only gross loss is $350 a month (or 0.25 of your payment).

You pay an HOA whether you rent or own. Whether or not you're told you'll most like be paying for it in the rent.

Buying isn't a non risk. But the only way you make anything is with risk. This is all pointless anyway since housing costs in my neighborhood are rising at 7-9% a year. If you had the money and didn't buy last couple years or now. You're throwing money out the window.

You're taking something simple and blowing it up into random hypotheticals. Obviously you can't be average. You can't work average. You can't have average drive. Being average gets you median income. Making mistakes like having children has repercussions. Stop side stepping.

It's just not going to be a stable century, and yeah, yolo. If you're thirty years old now the world's already been turned upside down two or three times in your lifetime, depending on how you're counting, and you might as well get as much out of the intervals as you can.

Most multi-million dollar rich people I know own their own company.

Most of them started from the bottom, started a company, and over time became millionaires.

The richest guy I know has a Metal manufacturing company which allows him to own 15+ luxury cars (enzo, carrera GT etc.), mansions, yachts, summer homes, etc.

thank you for looking into your crystal ball for me, i will not base all my assets on financial information curated from the 50years but your thorough greentext analysis.

property are usually a terrible way to make money in the short run but v.strong long-term investments
yes, it is assuming people just dont go ape shit apoc lolol gothninja madmax but if that were the case we'd be fucked anyway regardless if i have a property investment or not. just means there's security if things continue like they have been for the last few centuries i'll be okay.

Except the world is substantially different now than it's been for the last fifty years. I don't know if you've noticed, but the world economy almost fell apart just under five years and has never fully recovered. The last scraps of the postwar Keynesian boom states are being licked off, and the set of conditions that lead to them is probably not repeatable. Even if it's what we want.

I'm not saying don't buy property if it makes sense for you in other ways, but the idea that any economic decisions taken now can be relied on for more than two decades or so at the most just doesn't seem to square with reality.

Also, I'd be surprised if the nutso urban real estate markets we're seeing don't stabilize somehow in the next ten or fifteen. Gentrification's front can only go so far out before the city unravels. There's nothing today that's going to be like buying a SoHo building in '78 or whatever.

Neat observation!

> but the idea that any economic decisions taken now can be relied on for more than two decades or so at the most just doesn't seem to square with reality.
so youre saying the best thing to do is assume the worst and drop is all on...barbed wire?

the only thing anyone can do is assume things will stay constant imo
looking into your pixilated universe trying to interpret entropy is beyond meaningless when at any second a gigantic rock could turn our world upside down.

i would say the best course of action is not to 'assume the worst and blow it all' but rather spend money carefully and not blow it friviliously assuming things won't go bat shit crazy (it's the only option that has reliable historical evidence...and maybe otherwise but still)
the worst you could do is leave it sitting in a bank.

Everything you said is fucking retarded. Basically amounts to "why do anything hurr". Okay, you can sit around and do nothing and do you. Where I live in California for instance a major highway just got built through land that 10 years ago was dirt cheap. Now, surprise, the area is being developed with commercial and residential. As long as population rises real estate will be an investment. There are more stable real estate markets that don't fluctuate with the economy, but the fluctuation is what makes the money. So looking for stable markets is like looking for low margins. No one amasses assets in a sellers market.
