The British expat wants a convertible two-bedroom downtown or in Brooklyn.
You already own a London flat. Why buy one here?
I’ve been relocated by my company for two years. I don’t want to be paying rent. It’s a practical option.
What are you looking for?
My terminology is off, but I need a convertible two with reasonable space. And it has to be rentable.
Are you one of those foreign buyers we keep hearing will save our real-estate market?
Yeah, I’m not sure about that. With the conversations I’ve had, it may be difficult to get financing here. I might have to get a mortgage in the U.K.
How’s the market back there?
Not great. I have very good tenants.
