I always stick around an apartment I’m interested in and ask a resident going in / out these questions including about their overall experience in the building, how much rent has been raised historically, etc. I don’t trust the broker or landlords answer ever.

Look in the kitchen closets for bug traps if someone lives there now. This is a bad sign. Bug or mouse traps around the apartment in general are a bad sign. A good building will bring in an exterminator for any infestations, and tenants shouldn’t need to keep traps next to the groceries.

You’d probably have to ask the landlord (or the super). Brokers are just salespeople, and some will lie just to get the sale. The good ones will say they’ll get the info for you.

When they show you the apartment, bring gloves and move furniture so you can see the hidden floor and walls. You may find some inhabitable conditions.

Anyone have any worst interview stories? 100% bombed one yesterday, essentially just because I wasn't well prepared enough and I was super nervous. Knew what I wanted to say and said none of it, pretty sure I blacked out for at least some of it. Tell me I'm not the only one, (!!) or tips for self confidence are also welcome.

I heard a commercial on the radio for Verizon that said something to the effect that parents are now learning how to lesson plan. Are any of you off the hook for lesson planning? Just wondering because I’m over here busting my butt!

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get a definitive response. I have a bunch of Manhattan prep GMAT books from the past few years that have little to no writing in them. There’s probably 20 of them so pretty heavy but I’m looking to give this away to someone for free. Only thing is I asked for you to take all of them versus just a few. I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!

Thinking of moving out of Manhattan. I’m a native New Yorker, but longing for some real outdoor space and to get a car again. I’m in my early 30s, and considering kids in the next few years (so the reality of not being able to set up here forever/afford private schools, etc. is real). Welcome all suggestions on neighborhoods ppl love that are still commutable. Yes, I’d love a brownstone in Park Slope, but totally out of budget. Looking for something around 750k or less that checks all the boxes.
