Twist: Coop fee is $931 per month.

Twist 2: every time you cook you risk your bed catching on fire.

If you are considering it, you are cost-sensitive and not a trust-fund person. As such, you should not live in NYC. NYC is a fine place to visit. You're better off moving to another city, learning to code, getting a $100K job with geographical flexibility, and getting whatever you like from NYC by visiting friends for extended periods of time.

And NYC has jumped the shark anyways.

Why the fuck would you want this. Shitty apt that you're locked into. The HOA is much of the way towards renting something similar and can increase at any time.

CR. That's what makes this absurd. This place would actually be suitable as a pied-a-terre if you wanted a weekend/vacation place in the city if the fee was like $400/month. It would be like a hotel room that you had access to any time and could leave your stuff at.

Instead, at $930 per month (plus the fact that the listing says no pied-a-terres) you might as well just rent a nicer studio or a bedroom in some condo.

Maintenance is a bit high for a studio but it’s discounted for that in the offering price.

The no pied a terre rule only applies at purchase. Once you are approved there really isn’t shit they can do. Or will care to do.

Philosophically, the seller doesn't care at all. However, remember that condos/coops aren't like buying a house. You have to get approved to buy a place and the board won't approve someone who won't be living there full time. So sellers don't accept offers from people that won't be approved.

You must not be a NYC person. It is a major selling point because the soundproofing/construction is significantly better. Ask yourself how well you want to hear Mandy and I bicker about nonsense, our dog barking, my Russian music, etc. If the answer is "Gee Fish, that sounds awful" then you generally want a pre-war building.

i just down understand listings like this. 1800/mo mortgage (optimistic) + 900 in fees. you can rent a similar apt in the area for 2k/mo. even if you buy this place to live there, nobody wants to live in a place like that for more than a few years and any gains you make on the investment will be minimal when you sell it after 5 years, taking into account closing costs and broker fees, etc. even if it appreciates 50k, which would be optimistic, you will have paid that in maintenance fees. plus you lose all the flexibility of being able to live wherever you want in the city (or anywhere else) at any time.

and as an investment property, its not much better. 700/mo in returns is 2.4% a year, and that assumes you rent out at 100% (not going to happen) and that you dont have rent issues with the tenants (more likely with these shit studios).

i just dont get it

yup

friend bought a MFH studio, barely breaking even (maybe made 20K profit) after holding for a few years, after accounting for HOA fees

also studios don't appreciate much and you prob won't even be able to rent it out for your mortgage + HOA fees....

NYC is fine as long as you fall into one of the groups that it is geared towards (fresh out of school and renting, super rich and have a second home elsewhere, etc.). This apt is just silly because it isn't really geared towards any of them.
