Swap Manhattan apt. for Delray Beach condo?

Set your sights on a studio in Bushwick or Bed Stuy, Brooklyn and you MIGHT get a bite.

if you give me your apartment and 600,000 you can have my 1BR in manhattan

jenn747 - what do think it would rent for?

I was originally excited because it was confusing it with Del Mar

My 1100sq ft condo would rent for $1400

Hmmm, I'm a landlord with a non furnished walk up studio on the UES which rents for $14-1500

Got pics?

You can BUY a condo in Delray Beach for $10,000.

What's the maintenance like on something like that?

$40 is the mortgage payment (they claim) on a 30 year. Cheaper than a hotel room.

Around $350/month ... it's a 55+ megadevelopment, similar to Century Village.

Most unfortunately, I don't think one can get a mortgage for $10K, or at least not at 3% down. And very very sadly not at 125% LTV :(

This is not a 55+ community and nothing like Century Village. This is a spacious modern secure condo five story building.
The condo, located on the 4th floor has an enclosed lanai overlooking a gorgeous lake. Neighborhood is very quiet and private. It is a gem, a five minute
car ride from the beach and quaint downtown delray.
We are looking to swap for 6 mos or longer for a Manhattan apartment, preferably 1 bedroom. Wife needs medical
care at Sloan Kettering. I will be working on the west side. We are a very responsible mature non smoking, non partying couple.
Serious can respond to jenn7347@yahoo.com

MAV........Are you interested in swapping the walk up studio for our Florida condo? If so, I will send pictures to your e-mail address.

If you like to fish, Delray Beach is home to the Two Georges marina, where some great charter captains go after sailfish, mahi mahi, amberjack, and other sport fish.

I can't leave NYC at the moment but 6 months in Delray Beach is tempting!

how many times are you going to repost this thing?

Jenn sorry to hear about your wife; not sure this is the right place to look for a swap; maybe you should just look for a six month sublet

"40 is the mortgage payment (they claim) on a 30 year."

Yeah, but no bank will lend you that little money. The only way to buy the place with a loan would be to put it on your credit card.

Rong! Banks will make *personal* loans for amounts like that:

Yes, I know that. I was referring to mortgages. No bank will lend you that littke for a mortgage.

Pretty soon, we'll see the convergence of the mortgage industry and microfinance -- micromortgage. Fun for all.
