I own a few rental properties on Staten Island and in Manhattan.My apartments start at $2,000/month rent.
I am not knowledgeable about property investing. I just moved to New York City. My apartment is small and overpriced. I have driven 1000 miles to see a band before. I am willing to consider apartments in other parts of New York if they are more affordable than my current apartment. My budget for rent on an apartment is $650. My brothers currently help me pay rent.
I found a group of people looking for another roommate for a large apartment, rent would be way cheaper than what you pay now if you share an apartment with these guys! That sounds interesting. Where is it? It's in Long Island, the rent is only $1200 and split between four people would only be $300 a month for you! That sounds VERY interesting. Would I have my own room? My own or shared bathroom? Yes, you would have your own bedroom but there is a shared bathroom. They even allow pets if you have any! I don't have pets. I am interested in the place. I have another question. Do you have the time? Yes, it's 11:28 pm. When were you thinking of moving in? Is it near a subway or train or something to Manhattan. I don't mind a commute but I don't want to drive. Yes, it's right beside the subway, only a 5 minute walk. You can take the subway right to Manhattan. I do have some apartments in Manhattan, but they start at $2,000 which is out of your price range. You're right. $300 would be great on my budget of $650. I just want to make sure I'm not eating that other $350 in commuting. You know these guys? Yes, they have been renting from me for about 5 years. One of the roommates is getting married and moving out so they're looking for someone else. I'd sure like to see the place and meet a couple of them. Can you set that up?
