Where do people find hidden gem apartments?
Main Post:
BWT... where are we finding apartments these days?? StreetEasy is a nightmare. I’m moving in with my boyfriend August 1 and I want to get a lay of the land well in advance. And mentally prepare myself lol.
I’ve lived in NYC for 6 years and no matter how hard I try I cannot crack the code. I’ve heard horror story after horror story about broker fees, queues for showings down the block, bidding wars, etc.
HELP!!!
Top Comment: You know someone who is leaving theirs and you do a lease take over or you reach out to the landlord directly before it goes on the market. These apartments never make it to the market because anytime someone leaves, the landlord already has a handful of people who’ve expressed interest. So basically you don’t find these apartments, they find you.
