Request advice on getting a NYC rent controlled apt
« on: May 19, 2019, 02:30:22 PM »
Folks, I have an offer after a looong wait: to put money down and get a rent controlled apt in NYC (Mitchell Lama). Advice on how to manage the board, requirements, anything to be wary of, income needed, references, etc. requested. Thank you.

Are you buying a rent controlled property or renting one?

I thought all the Mitchell Lama buildings were phased out. My friend rented in one for decades and then when it converted bought at the inside price. Great deal if you can get it!

Thank you for your replies.

I have an offer to buy a share in a co-op and then live in an apt.

I had applied years ago and it seems to be available now.
Any advice really appreciated.
