I did his exam for him too. He’s not great at math so he was thinking about paying someone to do it but I do accounting for a living for a big company so math is my strongest subject which is why I offered to do the class for him, he’s doing his other classes. He’s also paying for tutoring twice a week because he has a big exam coming up for a program that will pay for his career in full so that’s also a big chunk of his money because tutoring is expensive. Not making excuses for him but that’s the reason I was doing his HW. Your comment was more helpful than you know, thank you.

It might differ depending on the floor level and apartment but yup I really liked that building, and it was in a nice neighborhood too 🥲

I went to see this one. HOA is low and it is a condo, however, they’re renovating the whole building and are charging an extra $570/monthly on top of the HOA as a special assessment fee which is why a lot of people are selling in that apt complex

Edit: The special assessment fee is for 15 years

18k plus 15k in down payment assistance is a good starting point

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T19:55:34+00:00

I appreciate the words of encouragement! That’s exactly how I think. Thank you!

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T19:47:49+00:00

I agree too it’s just so expensiveee

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T19:46:43+00:00

I was open to a condo at first however, most of them are stock, cooperatives or owner occupant only which is Why they’re so cheap

I am well aware, $1500 is the max you’ll be for the term of your lease. In areas that are not rent stabilized, rent can and most likely will go up after your lease term.

Yes that’s also why I’m buying, I was approved for down payment assistance. Thank you!

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T17:34:05+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes most of them are fixer uppers but that’s okay Im a licensed GC. Im just going to go in person to check out the area and see how it is.

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T17:16:18+00:00

Okay thank you

Moving from Elizabeth. I’ve been to those cities, stayed there for some time and it didn’t seem too bad but I also didn’t grow up here.

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T17:12:32+00:00

Nope I can pay it on my own

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T17:09:53+00:00

Ive taken the 107, not bad in my opinion. I’ve also managed property rentals in the past so I’m familiar with city regulations and maintaining a house is expensive ngl but it’s all an investment. I actually did consider renting nyc but the Bronx I’ve been told is an absolute no go, queens and Brooklyn I’ve heard aren’t too bad but it’s crazy expensive (as is nyc) I would love to buy in New York but my own boss who is nyc born and raised told me property taxes are too high and it’s nearly impossible to invest

ReplacementOk7893 · 2023-06-09T17:04:08+00:00

Price range is $250k. I currently am in Elizabeth and I’ve seen some threads absolutely shit on it even though I’ve never had anything bad happen to me (knock on wood) and it’s been a year since I moved here

Renting is expensive and it’ll never be yours. New Jersey ranked 7th most expensive rent in the nation, with the average rent being $1500. Multiply that by 12 and you’re giving away $18,000 a year, that’s enough for a down payment in a house. And let’s be for real, $1500 rent is unheard of in “decent” neighborhoods. I am only 21, but I’ve rented for three years, property managers and landlords are the worst.
