Rent to own situations are rare in this area as most sellers would rather sell outright, therefore do consider working with an agent of your own, he/she can best guide you, approach sellers on your behalf, provide any necessary information, etc. Keep in mind that rent to own can be risky, and one could stand to lose a bit of money, therefore do inform yourself well beforehand, and do consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate. If you haven't done so yet, consider visiting with any licensed loan officer, see if you can simply buy outright.... more
Eva,
The big question is is the condo warrantable? If not you will need more then 20% done. If it is warrantable, it will depend upon PMI approving the condo and you.
They are correct. None of the issues you brought up have any major consideration. However the fair market value, whatever that may be and however they may determine that is paramount. I have completed many Price Opinions for Banks and that is a guide for them to ascertain what the fair market value of the property is or in many cases should be.
There are many REO specialist Realtors out there myself included. If anything do yourself a favor and hire a REO Agent to assist you through this process. Worst case scenario you may learn something about REO's that normal buyer agents may not be aware of.

What you are asking is a very SHORT term answer to a LONG TERM problem:
This would be like putting a Microscope to the side of an elephant to determine if he is alive and well.
Remember the addage: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
This will be true for the future too:
In this regard, you know as much as the experts; if it is a desirable area, you can tell.
Good luck and may God bless... more

Hi Herwig, you should really check with the local Brooklyn/NYPD police and sheriffs departments for this data. They will have the most accurate information. A realtor can't really give you a fully "legal" opinion on this issue for a variety of reasons related to real estate laws and professional liability.

Hat,
It varies alot depending on which area of Sheepshead Bay you speak of. From a construction perspective, certainly condos are on the rise throughout the area (from Knapp Street to Sheepshead Bay Road). However, due to overbuilding and a bad economy many units have remained unsold and are now available to rent with an option to buy.
Most buyers who contact us prefer to see co-ops for the above reasons. The way it works is generally that condos are more expensive in price, but the maintenance (known as common charges) are typically much lower. However, with co-ops the actual price of the unit is much lower even though the maintenance is higher. But, you are a shareholder and don't own the unit.
Best regards,

This question is probably best answered by an attorney familiar with landlord-tenant law in NYC. But I would suggest gathering up all your copies of your current & previous leases along with all your receipts for any types of payments and any letter/ntoices the LL may have sent/given you regarding owed monies & what they are for. You can also try asking the LL to be nice and (if you have been a good tenant and paid on time, etc) dismiss the charge.... more
