high cc

I'm looking for a condo, not a coop so our situations vary a little. Obviously, it depends on how easily you can afford the maintenance and where you are in terms of working/retiring. It's harder to resell an apartment with higher maintenance since those charges increase over time and will get even higher. Personally, I would rather pay a higher purchase price and have lower monthly charges but I may be an older buyer than yourself. Buying an apartment is a long process in many cases. I found it helpful in the beginning of my search to go to open houses and make appointments to view apartments to get a sense of what is available. Best of luck to you in your search.

like I said, looking for any sane reason to pay high cc. i've been looking over a year and it's very frustrating. ny's a tough nut to crack!

think, i'll just take a couple months off and see where things are late January.
