I bought a another house!
January 20th, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-ChurchI am happy to say I just bought another house with Loretta!
We went into contract June 2007 but because of the mortgage problems it took us nine months to get a mortgage. The seller held in there. The house is really great. Four story three family. We will take a triplex and rent out one floor. The location is great- tree lined street, one block from subway and my daughter’s school. And right in the heart of Carroll Gardens.
It has a lot of potential. The basement can be dug out. The area commands great rentals. The front area is quite large for a garden and the back area is huge. No gardens there now. I love fixing up houses so I look forward to making nice landscaping. The view from the roof is amazing but I don’t know if I feel that ambitious to build a roof deck…
I look forward to the little things like walking my daughter to school and hearing the birds in the trees. Meanwhile we are around the corner from Smith street shopping etc. Anyway, I can’t write a description of a house without making it sound like a sales pitch 
You get that way when working in real estate.
On another note I took my broker’s exam this Monday. Considering i didn’t read any of the books or take any of the classes I think I did well. If you have been in the business long enough the stuff is pretty self evident - don’t lie to your customers, don’t be racist, be helpful to those you serve, be familiar with basic real estate terms etc. I find out next week if I passed.
Its the middle house. 22 2nd Street, Brooklyn.
each floor has a full little bathroom.
