Thanks. Me and the girl looking to get a 2 bedroom...Either we sell it or enjoy it once we have a child. Don't wanna go thru the stages of scrambling for an extra room when we have a kid.

Ironic shyt is the places out here I never wanted to live back in the days are the places I've been looking to move now.
You could of did better than flushing bro. Hope you can find some black neighbors

The World, but from BK
nah I mean Queens got a lot of nice black areas. Tell me more about the house buying process. How much you put down? The value, heat/oil, all dat. you gonna rent out he basement?

I'm looking at a luxury condo, not the ones I linked to but another one pretty close to Flushing. Everything is taken cared for as far as monthly costs in the maintenance fees aside from electricity. Most units these days come with an AC/Heater and washer and dryer. We have enough to put down for 30% of something between up to about $580K. Once you put down 25% or more, than its easier to get a loan at a low rate and your credit score helps too. This won't have basement. we chose condos because we don;t feel like dealing with the maintenance of a house and quicker resale, also this specific building we're trying for has a tax abatement for 25yrs (the building is almost 2yrs old) , so we'd have 23 more years of paying property tax for like $70 which is prolly about 20% of what the full property tax should be once the abatement ends. The tax abatement was used to have investors invest in building housing in areas that weren't too great. It was an incentive. So what's happening is now other investors are targeting these same areas and following with putting up condos also. The thing is you have to move fast when you see the first one go up, the others might not have that tax deal. But I've been looking in BK, Queens and even some of Jersey. Jersey's property tax is thru the roof. With areas developing also come more higher rent, which seem to be more than mortgage payments. We are trying to live comfortably and still get a piece of the NY real estate pie.

Good luck OP
the market turns crazy fast here too. shyt would be posted 1 day and already have 5 offers. Our house now we actually caught within 15 minutes of reposting
then bought basically sight unseen with just our agents word on it.

Where are you located?

I`d never live in NYC but good luck, the offer process is stressful as hell. The issue with NYC I hear is Asians from overseas are buying up everything Cash

Why the fukk would you live in two shyt upstate towns?
People live in NYC because they want NYC amenities. NY state is not NYC...it's like some midwestern shyt attached to NY.
people in rochester say POP...why the fukk would anybody FROM NY live in upstate NY...unless they had dope for sale?

I agree, I lived in Albany and Troy. fukk both of em, I'm happy I left that place. Wouldn't live there even for a pay raise and cheaper rents
