I offered someone 16k cash upfront for a full year leash in order to avoid the background checks or credit requirement which most immigrants wont have. As expected I still got rejected despite offering a full year coverage In one of the hot, but not so fancy neighborhoods of Brooklyn where many of these immigrants resides.
At this rate Bronx and East NY will become the most overcrowded area of NYC unless those immigrants have an excellent credit score and make more than 80k a year on record.

The hypocrisy of these non european immigrants who complain that gentrification is driving them out of those neighborhoods is that they themselves drove out the original inhabitants of those neighborhoods and they are complaining that the same thing is happening to them. The difference is gentrification is actually improving the quality/safety of an area while they ruined the quality of the area.
When you accept a tenant who pays a full year upfront, it raises its own set of problems. It'll make an eviction proceeding even harder than it already is.
Just the fact that you're trying to avoid a background check is enough to make me pass on you as a tenant.

Well I'm glad you missed the entire point of this thread, but thanks again for subjectifying it.

So the point of the thread that you think that landlords should be forced to change their practices and not be able to require their tenants to make a certain income or have a certain credit score?
Good luck with that. If that's not the point of the thread, please clarify.
Also, if you haven't looked around lately, there are recent immigrants living all over the place, in all the boroughs, except maybe Manhattan and tony Brooklyn (areas that many non-immigrants can't afford either).
When you say immigrant, are you talking legal immigrant or illegal immigrant? I wouldn't rent to an illegal immigrant with money upfront. Why would I help someone break the law? If they don't follow the law simply coming into this country, what makes me think they would follow any other law or honor other legal documents? Or how about when nine illegal family members show up and won't leave after the year lease?

Maybe this is the point of the thread:
Not to long ago tenants in Brooklyn couldve gone up to a lanlord, show proof of income, and get a place.
Now tell me,I Found an Apartment in NYC - Diary of A Mad Freelancer what exactly has changed? the perfect credit score requirement along with the 80k salary needed to rent an apartment that has the same dimensions as the closet of an entire house you could rent in Austin for the same the price, or being able to get a place to live as long as youre making money?
What's going to be next? A mandatory letter of recommendation from your boss?
Give up on Brooklyn for now . ... the market is over valued and it will get adjusted to " reality" if you know what I mean at some point. I have time on my hands so I will wait until its a buyers market again.
BK is losing its "grittiness" which is what attracted all the people to begin with . I'm sorry but Wythe Ave. looks like a white washed , J Crew catwalk. German tourist looking for Starbucks and want to see graffiti .. LMAOO . So corny.

Brooklyn changed. NYC changed. The real estate market changed. This is news to you?
