Why buying real estate in NYC can make you grow… academically (Part 2)
October 29th, 2008
Even specialty colleges or institutes are situated in the Big Apple. If you want to take up fashion and the like, you might want to go to Parsons The New School of Design for that matter, or even the Fashion Institute of Technology. For film, why not try NY Film Academy. Optometry? At SUNY Optometry. This list can go on forever. Law schools and post-graduate schools are also concentrated in this state.
Even if you are no longer a student, you can still have personal academic growth with what the city offers to its people. Like the oh so famous Museum of Natural History or even have culture in the city, there are a lot of shows, both old and new, traditional and experimental are being played along Broadway.
Living in NYC isn’t bad at all, and all these things are worth every penny if you ask me.

Research: A Tool in a Property

A real estate investment expert once said that finding an investment property can be compared to the dating scene. You are anxious to make an intelligent and informed decision since you plan to spend time, talent and treasure on the person – with the hope that it could perhaps lead to a long term commitment or eventually to a solid marriage. Dating anyone who comes your way, like focusing on just any property that tempts you, can only be a futile way to spend your time and money. Research is using the actual resources surrounding you to get the lay of the land, so to speak on a specific subject. Systematic research techniques will help the investor in three ways:
- First, they will give you an idea of the several markets and submarkets in your prospective area. Employing more diligence in doing your research will yield a better picture for you – which will eventually save you time and money;
- Second, research on your prospective market will teach you factors that can affect your property investment;
- Third, hot leads could be (but not surely) generated while doing the research. The most precious product of this exercise is the accurate picture of your market it provides. Once you have done your homework, opportunities will follow.
