  • @anastasia10017
    @anastasia10017 9 років тому +4

    there used to be no fee apartments. now if you find the apartment by yourself, the broker still gets paid 20% of the annual rent even though he didn't do anything. Landlords want security deposits -- good luck getting it back when you want to leave. If you want to break your lease, you are legally liable for the rest of the lease.
    Also, keep in mind that 50% of your salary will go to NY state tax, NYC tax, Federal tax etc... I am not exaggerating.
    Do not come here expecting it to be easy. New Yorkers are finding it hard to live here.

    No mention of roaches and rats. When I was a student, to help pay for my tuition, I painted a Doctor's penthouse overlooking Central Park. Prime real estate without the Trump name. The place was literally covered in wall to wall cockroaches. Absolutely discusting! Just because you're a doctor and are well off, in New York City, the cockroaches don't discriminate, and they like a good view as much as you do.

    Found my first Manhattan apartment at an incredible deal - a rent-stabilized unit, a full service building in Murray Hill, that was renovated with the best materials - marble, granite, everything brand new (to try to jack up rent as high as the law allows) and still $1,000 below market. The management company didn't want to rent it to me and asked for a high income (had it just high enough) and then demanded guarantors (gave them that too) .. even the agent didn't think I'll get it. Lived there for as long as I could before I got married and bought my own place.

      Living in a big city doesn't mean your life will automatically become exciting. Big cities can be awfully stressful with people that don't behave like you would expect, noise and crime.

      +Flag "first", "sandstorm" and "301 club" comments as spam for a surprise Living in the suburbs might not be as great as you expect. Suburbs are awfully stressful with loneliness, depression, homeowners association, child abducters, psychotic homicidal housewives and stressful daily commutes.
      Living in the country might not be as great as you expect. The country is awfully stressful with the lack of amenities such as sanitary water, regulations to prevent companies from dumping toxic waste in your backyard, depression from loneliness and the ever present threat of your local meth head/crackhead/ serial killer.
      See the city isn't the only one with problems.

    Do not live in New York City. It's a nice place to visit, but not to live. It's very expensive and the apartment space is VERY small. Just move to Houston Texas. Houston has a bunch of shopping malls and the apartments are spacious. It is definitely NOT in the middle of nowhere. And you get apartments for a really good price :)

  • @PhotoLabMP

    Landlords require potential tenants to make 40 times the rent in employment? That's crazy. I live in L.A. and the Landlords here require a tenant to make 3 times the rent. You get space in the apartments in L.A. for what you're paying. It's crazy how N.Y. studio apartments will average around $2,000 a month for 260sq. ft.

      *****​ I'm not hating. I've been to NYC several times and absolutely love it. Yes, I'd like to live there, but landlords there these days only want to lease to upper class tenants. Requiring someone to have a monthly income 40x greater than their monthly rent is absurd. I live in Las Vegas, and my monthly income is 4x my monthly rent and I live comfortably.

    • @wendydarling5790

  • @anastasia10017
    @anastasia10017 9 років тому

    here is a new reality -- realtors have the apartment inventory for every block computerized. so now rent prices operate like the airlines.
    say you see an apartment at 10AM and the rent is $3000/month. you think about for an hour and call the agent and say you'll take it (= $6,000 payment upfront to landlord FYI). but at 10.15AM an apartment across the street in a different building got rented -- so the inventory has decreased on that block = now they can raise the price of your apartment to $3500/mth.

  • @alkku92
    @alkku92 8 років тому

    Many people focus just on Manhattan, but certain areas in Brooklyn and Queens are almost as convenient and cheaper - Long Island City, Queens is 15 minute subway ride from Midtown and you can get a lot cheaper rent. Forte Greene Brooklyn same thing. Even considering Hoboken and Jersey City could be an option.

    People need to be debriefed about New York City before coming. NYC is a hell. It is so hard to get things done, and get problems that arise, completed and squared away . It is very expensive. It is unfriendly. There is division among racial and ethnic groups like you wouldn't believe. It is a place you aspire AWAY from.If you MUST, visit 2 or 3 days, then leave.
