Here's something for all the prospective house-buyers out there to consider: You can now rent an entire townhouse (albeit only a three-story one) in Fort Greene for $4,500. The Craigslist ad touting this deal doesn't give an exact address, but it does mention that it is on Carlton between Dekalb and Lafayette, hardly a shabby location for the 'hood. Given that there are six bedrooms, we smell a sweet arbitrage opportunity: Rent the entire place for yourself then sublet five of the bedrooms for $1,000 a pop to Pratt students and have an extra $500 a month in walking around money! Sign up soon and be just a few paces from the nearby Inauguration festivities.
