LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION for INVESTORS
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
You’ve heard it before that in Real Estate it is all about Location, Location, Location.
And in New York city, it is no different, but LET’S NOT FORGET THE COMPETITION!
The best locations to invest in are found in the most established residential neighborhoods. Everybody wants to be near their favorite restaurants, close to subway and fun places to shop.
At the same time, in New York city, there are some neighborhoods in good location that are also extremely dense with lots of condo and rental buildings.
From an investment perspective, every time your unit comes up for rent or for sale, there is going to be a lot of competition, making it that much harder for your unit to stand out from the crowd.
So when you are looking for your next investment, make sure you understand the location and most importantly your competition!
地區位置與市場競爭
一般在投資房地產的時候，大多數的人都會提及地點、地段很重要。在紐約曼哈頓裡也不例外，但我們也別忽略了市場競爭的問題。
最佳的投資地點往往會坐落於… 每個人都想靠近他們喜愛的餐館、靠近地鐵與有趣的商店。
但是在曼哈頓，有一些地區位置非常好，周圍也有著許多公寓與出租大樓。從投資者的角度來看，每當您的物件要出租或出售時，就會有很多的市場競爭，相較之下您的物件會更難脫穎而出。
所以，當您在尋找下一個投資項目時，除了確保您了解您的地區，更重要請將市場競爭納入考量。
在紐約買家有許多該注意的項目，請您來電諮詢。

Finding an apartment in Manhattan requires a lot of luck, not to mention if you are an international buyer finding your first home in this mega city. I was very lucky to have met Eileen. I had spoken with couple other brokers before contacting her. I decided to work with Eileen because she is among them all the most professional and efficient. She replied my emails promptly and provided me useful data on different Manhattan neighborhoods and inventory even before I arrived New York city. No time was wasted during my short stay in NYC. Eileen only showed me apartments that fit my needs and budget. She was also able to explain to my mother all the details in fluent Mandarin. I found Eileen more like a friend. She continues to offer help even after I moved in to the new apartment. I would recommend Eileen Hsu without hesitation. Cheryl Yang
因為是第一次在美國購置投資地產，許多方面不甚了解。幸好有Eileen為我們從地產種類，每個區域價位到購房手續一步一步細心指導。由於我們並不居住與紐約，往返行程匆忙，Eileen非常貼心得為我們制定好了充實合理有效率的open house行程，從看房到下訂單只花了一個禮拜左右的時間。由於是投資置業，房屋出租的問題我們起先也有不少的顧慮。Eileen主動提出為我們篩選租客，談定價格，並非常即時有效得和物業管理進行租賃合同意向的溝通，我們得以非常順利得在短短兩個月內購置、出租這套在十分符合我們心理價位和地段的房產。Ms Shen from Canada
我在寻找房子和买房子之间只花了一个多月的时间，在这么短的期间里Eileen 帮了我很大的忙，你只要提出你的要求她就能帮你找到你想要的，她会全心全意的帮你一直到你满意的为止，她的服务非常到位和非常专业，从找房，买房，谈价格，介绍律师等等，全部都帮你办妥。如果你有什么不懂的全都可以问她，例如买房子的保险，买家具的地址，等等。我非常感谢她帮我找到了我现在住的房子。如果我有朋友需要买房子我会强力推荐他们去找Eileen的。谢谢, JC XU.
Eileen was very helpful in helping me find my apartment in the West Village. I was interested only in condos in the area, a fact that she was very sensitive to, and made sure that I saw all the available apts in the west village as well as surrounding areas. She was able to effectively communicate with my parents in Mandarin about the intricacies of the NYC real estate market, thus making the home-purchasing process an enjoyable and rewarding one. Two thumbs up!! Michelle Chuang

How to determine a good NYC condo investment?
How to determine a good NYC condo investment?
We talked on the phone with a lady from Hong Kong today who is looking to purchase a condo investment here in Manhattan New York because she believes now is a good time to invest in Manhattan New York.
We are seeing a lot of condo sale activities coming from Hong Kong buyers and many of our serious buyers are finding good long term investments with our help.
We talked in details with her and her investment goals and based on her criteria, we will email her some potential properties and when she arrive at New York, we will have narrow down to 5 properties for her to finalize.
Before we hang up the phone, she asked me what determines a good Manhattan New York condo investment.
Below are the few points in our suggestions to her:
Investment Location: This is number one key in Real Estate investment, many of our Chinese buyers are very savvy and sophisticated with this concept. Many of our buyers have purchased properties in other prime neighborhood of other countries. New Yorker rely on public transportation, so convenient location such as subway, trains and buses stations is ideal. If the building is near a subway station, the condo is easier to rent out or resell in the future. Nobody ever complains about having too many transportation options, but they definitely complain about having to walk 15 minutes just to get to a subway.
Condo Carrying charge: Many of our international and Chinese buyers invest in all cash, no US mortgage. So if you are purchasing this all cash, after you purchase the condo, you, the owner (or landlord) is responsible to pay condo common charge every month and Real Estate taxes every three month (per quarter yearly). So if the condo building has lower combined carrying charge (the common charge and Real Estate taxes), the more net profit there is on the investment for you the owner. Every condo building is different when it comes to the common charges and real estate taxes so determining the value proposition each building has is a necessary aspect of the purchase.
Condo Sale price: The sales price of the condo is often determined based on what has been sold in the building before, for example, if in the same condo building, condition, view & exposure, unit size and layout is the same sold for $1,500,000 last week, and you can buy the downstairs unit with identical condition and layout for $1,450,000 because the seller is very motivated, then you may be buying a deal, relative to units in the building. When it comes to condo sales price comparison of ‘a deal’, it is always ideal to compare within the same building, same neighborhood, same period of time of the market condition and exposure of the condo to determine if it is a good deal or not.
Condo building house rules and rental policies: Each condo building is governed by a board of directors that will ensure building quality of life is up to its standard. Each condo building will have its own “House Rules & Policies” that residents will have to abide by and follow. Although condo generally have very flexible and unlimited sublet or rental rules, each condos can still have specific rules about the rental process. This can be sublet fees that is due by the owners, sublet renewal fees, application process and etc. As an investor, it is very important to know these specifics and evaluate if this works for your scenario. We have sold in many Manhattan condo buildings, so we are very familiar and well versed in many condo buildings’ policies and what are some of the common practice.
Team up with experienced Real Estate Professionals When determining a good Manhattan New York condo investment, ultimately we are talking about a property that is going to hold it’s value and have the best opportunity to maximize appreciation in the future.

Quality of Life Tips when buying New York city condo
Quality of Life Tips when buying New York city condo
Other than finding the right New York city apartment, there are other things to consider when you buy a condo here in Manhattan New York. When working with our out of town or Chinese Speaking Buyers, we educate the buyers and go over every step of the buying process with them and often discuss the quality of life items with them so they are very prepared to be a New York city condo owner.
1- Subway train station or Bus stops – Majority of Manhattan residents move by public transportation, it is a convenient and fast way to go from place to place. Do you want to buy a condo that is close enough that you can get to the train or bus stop in short time, at the same time, do you want to buy a condo right near the subway station?
Maybe it’s good idea to walk around the condo building you would like to buy to see how noisy or foot traffic there is right by your home. It is always good to visit the building few times during the day, afternoon and at night to see if you feel good about it.
2- Manhattan New York Traffic – When you want to live in Manhattan New York, it is true that this city does not sleep, neither is the traffic (ok, maybe it slows down a bit at night).
New York city taxi cab and public transit is on 24 hours. If you are buying an condo unit, think about how sensitive you may be with the New York city sounds, if your bedroom window is looking a one way street, or if you are mid-block facing the street, the most likely the street will be quieter than if you are facing a multi-lanes Avenue.
If you are on the lower floor and facing the street, sometimes you may hear the pedestrians if your neighborhoods have a lot of foot traffic. This all depends on the noise sensitivity level and each apartment’s exact exposure to determine what will work for you. Of course there is no one perfect apartment, there has to be some give and take compromises… keep in mind that this is a busy city, anywhere you decide to call your home will have some city noise, so just find the one that you can live with and have realistic expectation.
