NYC Coop Purchasing Process

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:22:00 GMT

Hi people - first time buyer in NYC and am really confused. I plan to ask my lawyer tomorrow to discuss but woudl really like some of your insight on this board.

1. The contract for the coop says that my loan contingency is 30 days. Is that a bit too short?
2. Should I have some kind of board approval contingency as well?
3. If I get the bank commitment letter but somehow the bank still couldn't get a loan, do I still get my deposit (70K) back?
4. Downpay is roughly 180K and loan is 500K. After downpay, I will have about 20K left as liquid assets in the form of stocks from my brokerage firm. For the bank, is that enough money to get the loan?
5. The board requires more liquid assets. Is it ok to get a gift from the parents?

As you can see I am just worried that if everything doesn't work out, I will not get my deposit back. If you have any suggestions or input, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Resale value on first floor apt in Manhattan

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 01:37:00 GMT

We are considering buying a first floor apartment in the West Village in Manhattan. We love the apartment and the neighborhood, but are concerned about the resale value of a first floor apartment. The windows are about 3 feet above a very tall person's head, but it is on the street. But the street is a quiet one. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
