Buying 1BR apartment all cash? I live in NYC, and recently inherited a decent sum of cash after the death of a parent. I know how big of a privilege this is, but I’m considering buying a one bedroom condo apartment all cash (no mortgage) here. My reasoning is this: save money on rent (taxes +maintenance costs would be about/less than a third of what I pay in rent), have a sta…

I am the type to have anxiety and panic when things go wrong. Should I be safe and send …

Apartment flooded… should I throw out my makeup & makeup brushes? My apartment recently flooded forcing me to quickly evacuate. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to grab my makeup/makeup brushes so they were stuck in my apartment without power for 5 days. The environment was extremely hot and humid. Although my makeup/makeup brushes did not get water damage is it safe for me to use them or should I throw them away?…

Should I Stay In My Current Apartment or Upgrade to a Townhome Like the title says, I am a bit conflicted when it comes to deciding what to do when my lease is up in October.

Help me decide: Layout in my 1-bedroom apartment I’m deciding between these two layouts for my one-bedroom apartment. The kitchen (U-shaped, room number 03 on the layout) is directly connected to the living room, and I’m trying to figure out the best spot for the dining table. Layout 1: In this layout, the dining table is right next to the kitchen, but it creates an awkward dead space behind t…

LPT Take a video of your apartment/rental when you move in and upload it to YouTube as evidence of the condition of the apartment. Obviously, landlords expect you to return an apartment in similar condition to when you received it. Lots of people will take photos, but those can be somewhat tedious to deal with and you risk having them deleted. I typically will take a video of an apartment when I first move in (before bringing in furniture) and will just walk around and capt…

Moving overseas for work. Probably taking the family with me. Should I sell the apartment we currently live in? So I was offered a position overseas with great pay. Company covers all expenses (except luxuries and kid’s schools) so we won’t be renting. However, we’re not sure about what to do with the apartment. Renting it wouldn’t cover the mortgage and we wanted to upgrade anyways. Selling it and keeping the surplus cash wouldn’t really make sense to m…
