The chance to buy a house for under $200K, electronic tenant tracking, & more top stories

1) Apply for a chance to buy a house in East New York for less than $200,000

2) Attention rent-stabilized tenants: If your landlord changes the front lock to a key fob system, she can track you

3) Squalor on parade: A selection of bad real estate listing photos sure to bum you out

4) Park Slope vs. Windsor Terrace: Which neighborhood is for you?
