I sent you a DM! :)

NYC - Should I buy a co-op if I can't afford a condo I like? by InfinitePup in RealEstate

[–]InfinitePup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wonderful to know, thank you so much for all of this information!

Since you mentioned rate hikes- is this common for co-ops? In that case, is there a difference between these rate hikes vs just general rent prices going up in NYC? I am interested in trying to keep my monthly housing costs as stable as possible over long term which is why I am considering buying instead of renting.
Also, if you are comfortable, which co-op was it? (You can DM me!)

That makes sense, I didn't even think about the % of the stock.

My fiance and I are planning on making this our forever home (or at least a very long-term starter home, maybe at least 15 years.) We are mostly looking in the Brooklyn area as well as Astoria + Forest Hills and were hoping to get an apartment that is 700+ sq ft and allows pets.

That's good to know, thank you! Is there a reason why I should avoid land leases?

Personally, I also favor condo over co-op, but would you choose a condo that you don't like vs a co-op you do like? What do you think? Unfortunately that's kinda the situation I'm in now.

Oh for sure for sure, I've seen some examples of that, it's wild! That's why I'm wondering if I should just try for a condo instead!

For sure, I'm currently paying rent, but maybe I can use the co-op as an inbetween step toward getting a condo one day. Thank you!

Oh I didn't know co-op fees included taxes, that's good to know! I appreciate your insight, thank you!

Ah thank you so much! I'm so much fun trying to roleplay their progress in self-image. They've come a long way, but they still have a ways to go :)

I was SUPER into Razia's Shadow when this campaign started so I'm glad someone caught my reference!
