For investors, it is a classic example of strong demand and limited supply. With rising property values thanks to a growing populace, international and national interest and limited landmass, hundreds of NYC properties provide their owners with high yields and insulation from unexpected market changes.

However, supply and demand is not absolutely consistent across the city. Investment potential varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. Even if you are considering two identical apartments in the same building, one apartment might make a better investment than the other.

Factors that will affect your investment might include:

Property type. Many co-operative apartments restrict property owners’ subletting rights. Elika agents can help you understand subletting requirements and avoid unsatisfactory properties.

Tenant. Good investment properties will attract stable, long-term tenants. You should understand how to avoid properties with high turnover.

Property statistics. Neighborhood amenities, transportation, property age and neighborhood features will affect investment potential.

Neighborhood-specific markets. Property costs, yield and capital appreciation vary from street to street and from one development to the next. When investing, you will need a real estate agent who has access to all properties and market analysis info.
