We want to stay around 0,000.00 or less for a 2 bdroom in decent condition.

We don’t care where it is, so long as it’s a short commute (an hour the longest) and in a decent area. Anyone have any ideas? Or, any ideas of what areas we should definitely avoid? I heard all of East Orange is bad, and many parts in Brooklyn obviously…

I am looking for an affordable extended-stay hotel or fully-furnished apartment with kitchen for one month.

I looked for furnished sublets, temporary housing, but haven’t really come up with anything.

Landlord is now saying I must leave by Saturday and that they will charge my friends extra for every month I’ve been here. What can I do?

My realtor says that I’ll need to put at least 10% down to be considered. I countered that the seller gets the same check no matter what financing arrangements I have, so it shouldn’t matter. My realtor maintains that NYC is "different" and that we will need to put down the "required" 10%. To me, this seems ridiculous, because the bank is assuming all of the underwriting risk, and the seller really doesn’t care about the financing details when the check is cut. Am I crazy? Is NYC "special?" If not, what possible reason could this guy have for wanting me to put more money down?
