Quote of the day – ask a gay waiter where he lives

Looking for the next hot neighborhood? According to superstar New York broker / blogger Barbara Corcoran:

“The best property leads I’ve ever chased have come from gay waiters or would-be actors serving my meal at a fancy restaurant. I’ve made a habit of asking, ‘So, where do you live?’ and have learned the names of neighborhoods and small enclaves where the space you get is big and the rent is still cheap.”

And, she cautions, beware of Starbucks:

“I’ve found that once … Starbucks moves in, you know your investment has topped out. Most of the interesting characters, the very people who held the community together during their earlier hard times, have all moved out.”
