Do you guys plan on buying an apartment (2BR etc) in NYC?
If not, why? If so, how do you plan on saving up and purchasing it? Their common charges are ridiculous on top of property taxes.

Career Resources
Maintenance is supposedly a payement for the building services - a doorman (i.e. bunch of useless idiots that will open the door and lose your packages), sometimes a gym (that you'd never attend because it's a fucking joke) and so on. It's not cheap but it's kinda worth it. Let's put it this way - would you rather live in Manhattan and pay common charges and property taxes or live in Cleveland, Ohio on the cheap?
I own my place, but I had a 180 pound dog and no rental would take me with him. Popeye was the main reason why I decided to buy, lost my lease and it was either a condo or the burb. In November of 2008 my place was a fucking steal, the seller was someone I knew from the L shop. The good - nice roof deck, equidistant to CP and Carl Schurz park, close to the 86th street subways (4/5/6 and the Q). On the negative side, it's a stupid multi-level unit with an open floor plan (it's a pain to live in), maintenance is totally crazy, the neighborhood is too commercial for me etc. There is no perfection in the world.
Did you pay in all cash? How did you purchase it?
Did renovations in 2014. Dealings with contractors in the NYC is NOT FUN.
180 pound dog....are you sure that's not a horse?
the dog
Awesome looking dog!
never understood/enjoyed the concept of city living.
stacked in boxes one upon another.
why not use the money to get a villa in Florida? or a Tuscan-styled house out West? more privacy, more land, less people.
I prefer city life more than boring suburban life. I've lived in suburb my entire life and I can definitely say that I don't plan on going back anytime soon.
