Of course there is some risk involved, but at the end of the day it makes a lot of sense on paper. My friend has a bunch of kids in a 2 bedroom apartment he wants to buy a house and he doesn’t have 650K, so what’s his options. He’s from Kew Garden Hills, but also some Far Rockaway people went (where you need 750K). I am not in the parsha to move yet so I can wait it out a little, but for someone who wants to act now the risk isn’t so bad. Also, there are some frummer people there and according to what he said they have a minyan already, so when everything is said and done there must be 10 families.
