There is no charge for this serive.... more

Hi Apline,
You might want to consider 357 N Broadway #2C, Yonkers, NY 10701 (MLS# 2918951). It is within walking distance to the Metro North Glenwood station and has an outdoor pool and no pet restrictions. It is called the Monterrey Condo and has more than 1 active listing there. There is also 412 N Broadway #8, Yonkers, NY 10701 (2933270). This is also within walking distance to the Metro North Glenwood station but it does have a restricted weight for pets but does have a multi level deck/pool. Again there is more than 1 active listing at this complex. You can also try Riverwatch in Yonkers. It has a pool and a restricted weight for pets and is within walking distance to the Metro North Greystone station.

Hi, Judging from the amount and the down payment requirement I think we are talking about a Coop. If so there is no way getting around the minimum down payment requirement, this is set by the Coop Board. On top of that the Coop Board will want to see several thousand dollars in reserve after making that down payment and paying closing costs. The banks are also requiring 20% down for those that have under a 700 credit score because you won't get PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) if your credit score is under 700 and you're not putting down 20%. Things have gotten alot stricter these days.
Sincerely,

A co-op is an asset like any other piece of real estate except you are not really buying the property. A co-op is not condo. When you buy a condo you are buying the actual site (like a house). In a co-op, or cooperative, you are buying shares of a corporation (which is leasing you back the place where you will live). It is a North-Eastern phenomenon that made ownership affordable. So the process is like buying a house, except usually you must get approved by your fellow share holders (the Board).
They both are assets. They both can be bought and sold. Condos are generally more expensive for a variety of reasons. If you need help buying. Click this link. http://www.askrey.net/blogs/rey_hollingsworth_falu/archive/2009/02/22/how-to-buy-a-co-op.aspx

I would get a letter from the city saying they did there inspection. After it is done. Send a certified letter with a copy of the certificate from the city saying it is done. Call a couple days later and see if you can get something. If still no answers, than its time for you to go get your own attorney. The attorney probably has not spent the money. It is in a trust somewhere. He just needs clear documentation before he releases it. I know the years has rolled by and sometimes they do.... more
What is your motivation in buying a foreclosure? If it is to save money, you are probably barking up the wrong tree. Foreclosures are NOT big bargains. Do not forget that you are dealing with an owner - except that the owner is a BANK and they want as much $$$ as they can get. You may also inherit a host of structural problems from deferred maintenance. Also, owners who are foreclosed on often trash the house before it is vacated. For the average buyer - looking for a place to live, I consider foreclosures to be very, very risky.... more

Great people, great area and yes some units have Hudson River views. Call me for further information 914 843-5637. It is behind Untermeyer Park the largest Park in Yonkers.... more
1155 Warburton is where we lived. When they were going condo they had a tenant meeting every week to try to persuade people to buy into their scam. They slapped some paint on an outdated, small unit and are trying to sell now for an inflated price rather than rent. They actually said that when the outdated elevators break that the cost to fix or update them will come from the tenants. The view is great....but seriuosly people, IT'S YONKERS! The schools suck and it's right near St. John's hospital. Also there are absolutely no stores or supermarkets anywhere near the building so it is very inconvenient. And try listening to the train go right by your apartment every 20 minutes. You can try putting a top hat on a pig, but it's still a pig.... more
