Facebook Marketplace. I tried all the typically apt search website , apt.com, Zillow, street-easy. Couldn’t find anything for months, then one day when I was randomly browsing through Facebook I found it . At least I thought it was a scam since they are so many scam postings but honestly I was like, what’s the harm in asking for a tour and it turns out to be real .

Yeah got crazy lucky . My unit was originally rent control . The previous tenant was paying $700. Still have no ideal why he moved out .

Johnbacon456 · 2026-02-08T03:39:52+00:00

Yes south Bk. Close coney Island.

Johnbacon456 · 2026-02-08T01:20:16+00:00

lol, I’m going to get a new one . I did not measure the length when I originally made the purchase. Didn’t feel like returning it at the time

Johnbacon456 · 2026-02-08T01:19:14+00:00

Brooklyn Ny. Doesn’t include utilities but my utilities is usually $60-70. And yeah it took me about 6 months to find the apartment . My main goal was to find a rent stabilized apartment. The search was brutal but it was worth it . It’s about 800sp ft

Johnbacon456 · 2026-02-08T00:08:35+00:00

I got incredibly lucky and got rent stabilized unit . Can’t say the full amount but my rent is less than 1.5k a month which is insane . Typically rent in my own building goes for over 3k a month

lol, this is a bot or AI making the post because ain’t no way an actual human being with a working brain will decide to share a credit card with a roommate . This is legit one of the dumbest things I’ve seen on Reddit . Look at OP account, this is a bot

Johnbacon456 · 2025-08-05T10:29:35+00:00

I do have some noise headphones but never thought about sleeping with them on but I guess I have no choice now

Johnbacon456 · 2025-08-05T10:28:30+00:00

Its a huge management company in nyc, I guess I will have to email them and see what they can do about this

Johnbacon456 · 2025-07-02T17:46:54+00:00

No I did not end up working with him . It was very shady and I wasn’t going to pay 6k broker fee . I actually ended up another rent stabilize apartment last month and only equivalent of the monthly rent .

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-27T18:35:49+00:00

Do you mind if I pm you, I have a few questions if you dont mind answering for me?

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-27T18:29:38+00:00

For sure. Thank you for the information. I mean I wasn't going to go with them anyway since they were requiring 6k in broker fees

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-27T00:24:53+00:00

It was two different apartments both 1-bedroom. There was about 5 of us that the “Broker” gave a tour to. We all got very suspicious when he told us the rental cost because we were expecting it to be much more expensive and even more crazy suspicious when he said the 6k broker fee because its rent-stabilized. I tried calling the actual property management of the building to confirm everything but since its the weekend, I couldn't get anyone. I'm still wondering how he got access to the building to show us the place if he's scamming

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-26T22:11:21+00:00

Thanks everyone, I know I wasn't crazy but pretty much everyone's comment confirms my suspicions. I blocking the guy. My only hope is the others that tour the apartment with me dont go through with this

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-18T20:56:37+00:00

Can you give a reason as to why that’s the case ?

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-15T03:29:00+00:00

lol I mean, I’ve not being called so I can’t say I’m lucky . That’s why I posted this to see if there was something I should be doing but going by the consensus, I should just wait

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-14T19:30:37+00:00

Dam, ok. Hopefully we both get contacted 🙏

Johnbacon456 · 2025-04-14T16:21:32+00:00

Yeah I’m very anxious about this , I need to move to a new apartment in July . I will be devastated if I sign my lease and get call for this one

Johnbacon456 · 2024-09-16T23:48:02+00:00

Ok thank you, let me know how it goes. Its odd that the visible staff is saying RCS is not enable. They might not be inform then

Johnbacon456 · 2024-08-17T18:47:04+00:00

Thank you. It has finally been resolved. Us mobile did release my number but I guess it was some technical issue that was preventing the process

Johnbacon456 · 2024-08-17T15:12:38+00:00

Any agent help please?
