This Luxury NYC Mansion Only Costs $1,500… Why? 

Omg! Can't believe you guys are not only in my old hood but in a building that I spent my childhood in. Fun fact: I grew up on the next block, Linden St. In the 80s, this building used to be a preschool and I went there as a child. My mom started her career as a teacher in that building and still works for the company, Bushwick United Head Start. They still have numerous locations in Brooklyn.

if that used to be a mansion, the owners took all the charm out of it! 😒

"The barbwire makes me feel safe" my new favorite Cash quote.

Because the downstairs room lacks an egress window (that barred window apparently doesn't comply) it's considered unsafe as a bedroom and you should not have repeatedly called it a bedroom. The main floor is quite cramped and the renovations look cheap.

You're sounding a lot better today Cash! So glad the regular vids are back (no narration) Love your vids bro!

But it’s not 1500 a month, it’s 3000 a month unless you’re willing to use the downstairs illegally as a bedroom 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

The barbwire makes me feel safe...lol

I swear Cash could sell a closet with a kitchen as a wonderful apartment. Wait a sec...he HAS!

I grew up nearby in BedStuy, and my cousins lived in Bushwick. The area was a relatively wealthy area due to the numerous breweries located there and in Williamsburg. Many of the beer barons and managers built some of the most beautiful homes and mini mansions in Brooklyn. Bushwick Avenue had fancy cocktail lounges and night clubs. Broadway had all the shops and stores. However, in the 60’s, to due competition the local breweries started closing in NYC. White flight, plus the Navy Yard’s decline caused the neighborhood to rundown. Then the blackout and riot in the during the summer of ‘76 nearly destroyed all of Broadway. The area became really rough and sketchy. Abandoned houses were looted for copper, aluminum, stained glass and any of value. Many were set ablaze in order to collect the insurance money. Local residents had to band together to board up the windows and door fronts in order to keep them from becoming drug dens. But I’m glad to see the area is coming back and people are renovating many of wonderful homes.

I think it would be great for a couple and to have a tv lounge/living room downstairs or offices. great option!

That rounded structure is very old; it's called a Quonset hut. It was designed in 1941 by a team of engineers at Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Rhode Island and has been used my the military frequently in the past.

the cat at 3:21, you said "he does not look friendly" but that cat was a calico, meaning there was only a 1 in 7,000 chance of them being a male. and she just looked curious, not aggressive.

Even though I live in Chicago I watch your videos everyday. I prefer this format (vs. narration).

WARNING: If they can't they can't give you a COMPLETE history and it's "Probably Not Haunted" thats a HUGE red flag!

I love that you give a tour of the area....shops and restaurants !

I bet when it was a single family mansion the interior was gorgeous since it belonged to a lumber magnate. It's a shame the architect didn't try to keep some of the original details. Looks like it was a total gut job, especially if there was an addition added & there's at least 20 apartments in there. That kitchen on a wall was ridiculous with practically no counter space or microwave. You'd need a rolling island for sure. The bedroom could only accommodate a twin size or if you're lucky a full size bed. Might as well have made it into a closet seriously. Not worth the $$$ imo.

I start every morning with coffee and Cash

Barbed wire? No, thank you. I absolutely did not like this renovation. I've seen better looking rooms and finishes in a Days Inn. Then the closet masquerding as a bedroom that accommodates a twin-sized bed and possibly a full if you're lucky? Oh, no... Nuh-Uh... IMHO, there is nothing redeeming about this at all. No where near worth $3K/month, IMHO.

I like the exterior more than the interior. Doesn't seem like they put a lot of thought in the room layout.

Cash sounds like he's better! 😄 Posted regular video ✌️

I really liked that cat! The apartment was nice for 1 person.

Good morning..I love to see you on that bike 😉out and about. Doing what you do best LOL thanks for the tour the apartment wasn't too bad🤷🏾‍♂️😏

Wrong way fridge! Lol. Otherwise, very nice....might need a beefed up security system.

Thank you. Good to see you feeling better Cash.

Hi Cash and your friend it’s so exciting to tour an elegant looking luxury NYC mansion love Brooklyn, NY. Very classy city. Stay well and safe 👍

Awesome job cash Jordan see you tomorrow morning

I'm going to lead by saying that I'm Canadian so I don't have any first hand experience with living in the U.S. However from an outsiders perspective I find it arguably discussing that although these small apartments are cleverly designed for their size, I can't help but feel disgusted at the size vs price point. It sounds like one months worth of rent could literally build a small apartment like some of the ones I've seen in previous videos start to finish.

Cash, pls make one special roast episode about Dunkin Donuts, Chipotle, Subway, Starbucks and McDonald's, your reaction/comment each time you bumped into one of these eateries is priceless!

Actually $3000 for that whole place isn't bad based on other Apts you've shown!!!

Please dont exchange that "Dynamic and funny guy" instead of Charles, ohhh Please dont!!!🤣🤣🤣

Kudos to whoever designed the galley kitchen. The blue tile makes that area really pop. Greg is a good match too with Cash.

This is Gonna b so Insightful CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Wednesday😀….

Really good price point on this one! Nice kitchen! Baths are large and clean, updated. Definitely a 2 roommate situation to save money! If the place is haunted would it be cheaper? 😊

Ouch, that beautiful house has been destroyed 😢 What a depressing apartment, especially the ugly basement and the ridiculously small kitchen with a useless stove. Even the bedroom would be a tight squeeze for a double size bed.

The guy showing with Cash seems like he couldn’t care less … lol Dude has no sense of humor and like he’s high or something. 🥴😂

That's around the corner from my house. That's the Bossert Mansion. Why you didn't get off at gates Ave, it's closer

Another great video 📹 😊

Hey cash you sound much better! Like the apartment tour but this one isn't for me. It is a weird lay out. The prices in New York apartment are always going to be high. But it could be a chance for them to go down at some point. Again congrats on baby #2 she is a button.😊

That's not a mansion, nor is it luxury!!

Not really $1500! Only 1 full bath so really just suitable for a single or couple not sharers. No in unit laundry which is a pity considering all that basement space.

Love your videos!!!

How many mice are in the basement. I know that we are in ny😅 the nicest place, and the cleanest place have mice. We are talking about a basement in NYC

I stayed right there for two weeks recently - looooved it!!!!

Sounding better today Cash 👍. Not bad apartment either.

That cat is a “she”. Torbie.

Beautiful artwork.

Good morning 🌅 I guess you can put the living room downstairs because there isn't one upstairs. A table to eat at would take up all the space but that's where the kitchen is. So it would be a large living room downstairs even if you blocked off a space for a bedroom. Just hope it doesn't flood and ruin your furniture.

i love watching your channel. Makes me feel that i made the right choice to leave Manhattan for NJ!

Cash, please no more voice overs. Your original format was perfect with your reactions.

In the 70s and 80s Bushwick looked worse than Ukraine. Bombed out buildings and watch your step. Plus I counted the steps up to the J train 134 steps you better be in shape!

It's haunted by the ghost of Bushwick Bill.

0:35 Of course parks are quiet when you're there so early in the morning but guarantee when it hits around 11 or 12pm, it gets more active.

At that price bump the stay. plus the "i dunno the history" line , yeah it's either haunted or murder house

from a person born and raised in the borough of queens. brooklyn is not nyc.... brooklyn is brooklyn and nyc is nyc. they are two separate boroughs...it is misleading to refer to Brooklyn as nyc. no one who is true new yorker has ever referred to Brooklyn as nyc.....

The guy showing with Cash seems hungover or something… not too up on the apartment so Cash fills in well. Greg go grab a cappuccino man.

Love this choice ❤❤❤

Nice vid, Cash

cuz its not 1500 its 3K cuz u need a roommate for a non 2 bedroom listing. show me 1500 no roommates needed

Hi cash croissant is from Austria Not From France Just so you know

Good Day !

Fridge doors were on the wrong way.....Cash is not 100%, yet, go home and take your drugs....

Holiday Inn Express! 💯

Nice to see Cash out on his e-bike again.

That’s the horror movie classical beginning

LOVE the building! GAWD..hate it when they leave the refrigerator door opening on the WRONG side.....is there a LOT of Dyslexia in NYC or what!? Did they gut this building & redo it ....doesn't look right. Interior sucks

I wouldn't dare move to NYC but I love these videos

Let me get this straight: Greg is in sales for the real estate business in New York City? Does he not like what he does? Did he have a reason to act aloof and indifferent? Death in the family? Perhaps a pet? His dog died? It was a dog, wasn't it? His dog died that day before the camera arrived? Was it a dog? A dog?

Cash Jordan has the best NYC rentals. He is the king.

I also get upset over the ripping out of beautiful woodwork, fireplaces, cornices etc! Especially the bricking up of gorgeous fireplaces and replaced with a little ugly electric fire! In the 70s 80s everyone was doing it! Killing the beautiful features of homes ❤

this is effing gorgeous!!!!!!!!!

FYI... You wouldn't get a sunburn because the window pane glass prevent UV rays from penetrating the windows. You will sweat more, though.

aftrer the recent flooding in NY why would anybody want to pay for a basement. its not like flooding is never going to happen again.

Interesting place. But, Cash, not haunted? What fun is that? 👻

"If you and the frat brothers put a bed in it, it's still not a bedroom." That cracked me up! I guess you could call it a berthing unit or a lounging office. To avoid complications. You might not keep the same address if the sheriff arrests you and puts u in a slammer of some type for allowing sleeping! Booking. Yeah. (no plug intended) I especially liked everything about it. Lol. which means Lots of luck to the frat boys who take it. This comment will self -destruct if there aren't a certain # of thumbs up by a finite amount of time. Jk. Not kidding. Yes I am whatever. All in all, a very interesting crash pad!!

Cash, I just want to say that you can’t get sunburned through a window! The UV light doesn’t penetrate glass. 😊 Love your videos!

I lived in Queens before moving to Manhattan. I lived in NY for over seven years and in that time I was in Brooklyn only twice. 😁

I actually looked at a unit at that building 5 years ago. Think the rent then was like 2100 for the 1 Bedroom. Neighborhood great!

Getting a dresser down those stairs is near impossible. Plus that basement is a fire trap.

Yup, could work for 2 roomates or a couple, one of NYC's best values...

"I can't tell the whole history but it's not haunted" Translation People got killed here bad.

She looks like a very sweet Calico!

I live right around the corner from this strip of broadway... "shops and restaurants.... like McDonalds and a bodega" about sums up this area lol

This agent knows NOTHING about his own listing. Seems so sleazy like they know it's gonna rent quick so whatever.

I bet thata soon was a beautiful home at one time. Now it's white box apartments where you can sleep on a twin bed just like home when you were a kid. Nice outdoor area. See ya. Somebody please rent this place

How depressing. the neighborhood alone would scare most people off, and then that awful dark, dingy Basement. Could the rooms be any smaller? What a dump ‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

I remember when breakfast nooks were not allowed in Bushwick.

The leasing agent is the worse.

Greg was so serious. Loosen up Greg, lol.

What a shame!

Like this apartment.

Lived in buswhick almost all my life it’s crazy how much it’s changed no one wanted to set foot there when I was a kid now I can’t even afford rent there

very nice

I believe that is a chain link fence not a barbed wire

Nice old building which probably was a mansion at one time. The reno looks okay, with a decent kitchen and an eating nook, and pretty sizable 1.5 bathrooms, and that large room downstairs for a living room. Bedroom is quite small but doable. My real complaint is that the reno took the life and charm out of that lovely old building, and that's a shame.

One thing about NY developers they don’t care about character, history, nostalgia, culture or anything like this. It’s all about money. They don’t care about preserving anything. You should see how they chop up old brownstones.

Umm I’ll cash app them right now!!

Bootiful

el monumento is a great Dominican restaurant 😍😍😍😍

First one of these I've seen that's actually financially liveable. As soon as I heard you say mansion, I was easily expecting 10 grand a month.

Hey, way to lane-split on the e-bike! Nobody EVER gets killed lane-splitting on e-bikes!
