First, the wrong building.\u00a0 Some buildings shine with flashy marketing, but that doesn\u2019t always translate into strong investment fundamentals.\u00a0 Investors may chase the \u201chot\u201d building without scrutinizing its long-term appreciation potential.\u00a0 A \u201cgreat\u201d building in hype might not be a great investment.<\/p>\n

Deal example:\u00a0 The Sutton in\u00a0Midtown East<\/a>.\u00a0 Represented investor client to reserve at pre-construction, waited 2 years for completion, rented out immediately.\u00a0 Notice the casement windows and luxurious finishings, key drivers of the decisioning process.\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Third, the wrong apartment line.\u00a0 Even within a good building, choosing the wrong line of apartments is a hidden danger.\u00a0 Sometimes, certain lines are discounted for reasons that should raise questions\u2014limited views, odd layouts, or future construction impact.\u00a0 Selecting the right line is just as crucial as selecting the right building.<\/p>\n
