Insight
O'Brien: Widening staircases with roof bulkheads fixes dark brownstone interiors
“Brownstones are notorious for being a little dark in the middle because there's no windows in the middle typically. So I widen the staircase and I put a lot of light and a bulkhead on the top so you get light down the middle”

Disclosure
Mark O'Brien shares his historical 1-1-3 NYC brownstone flipping math
“The numbers back then were basically you buy for a million, build for a million, and sell for three million. So you make a million bucks. So this house was 800,000. I built it for about 800,000, and I made a lot of mistakes.”

Opinion
Sam Parr estimates Mark O'Brien nets $500k-$1M flipping NYC brownstones
“Basically, I think that he probably does something like 500,000 to a million dollars a year in income, but that's on a good year. On a bad year, he probably can, like, lose money, and it was just a lot of work for that amount of money.”
