I have 2 nieces that recently moved to New York City.  One of them check different bulletin boards around some of the colleges there and found a decent apartment in Manhatten.  The other one and a number of her friends have moved to Brooklyn  They say it's a lot more affordable there.\n\nHope this helps some.

Probably not Philidelphia. Why not stay at boston and simply move to a cheaper apartment. If not, go to New York.

It's not good. I was at Bolling AFB a little while & it was a very bad neighborhood. There are nicer areas to commute from, but rental/real estate proces are insane. Important work draws people to the area, but live on base if you have to go there. I was always more happy in the operational force or major command level than anywhere close to DC anyway. I can't speak to schools. There are good private ones if you just happen to have inhereted a ton of money, but DC is just bad. I was only there about six months though so maybe someone else can give you a better impression than I got.

The best thing to do: Judge them by how the leasing staff acts, and ask a TON of questions. That way you can find out everything about the place, and you can get a better feel for the staff. Here's a few things you should ask:\n\nWhat utilities are included?\nWhat's the security deposit?\nApplication fee?\nWhat is the total cost to move in?\nDo you accept Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) or other subsidized housing (if they say yes, generally you'll want to stay away)?\nDo you allow pets? What kind?\nWhat year was it built? (stay away from anything built pre-1978...laws were enacted in 78 that work in your favor).\nAsk about the neighborhood...what kinda stuff is nearby\nAre their private entrances to each apartment? If not, are the building entrances locked intercom?\nWhat is the ISO  (or other fire safety rating) rating in the building?\nWhat is the crime index of the area?\n\nThey may not know all of this stuff, but the ones that will try to answer your questions will be the ones you want to talk too. Forget about any of the places that are pert or rude (obviously).\n\nAlso, check www.forrent.com. They have virtual tours of communities around the country you can check out.

Dude, there are NO attic apartments in NYC.  If it's on top, it's the penthouse and it costs twice as much as all the other apartments.  There is a very limited amount of actual single family residences in NYC, and no one who has one is going to illegally rent out the attic (or basement) of a priceless historical preservation that cost them millions to a bunch of people.  In 2002, the price of a single family home in Manhattan ranged from 2 million to 13 million, and it hasn't gotten any cheaper.\n\nBesides, I'll bet there aren't more than 3 or 4 attics left in Manhattan.  Basements are common, but attics are almost unheard of in NYC.\n\n5 people in a studio violates the occupancy limits in NYC, and even if you could find a studio for $1,000 a month, it would only be about 200 sq feet.  You are looking for something that doesn't exist.\n\nNYC has some of the strictest housing laws and code enforcement in the nation.  Even if you were able to find one, illegal SRO's get busted almost as fast as they are set up and the place gets padlocked instantly.

I cannot find anything but I am sure a quick call to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development can tell you. Better to know for sure regardless.

a previous writer was right - cheap and in expensive are oxymoron's- you need to add more info- where will you be working? will you be driving < using public transportation ?will you need to get to a mosque, synagogue, or a church on regular basis  ? things to consider. \nBrooklyn like all  New York boroughs is a collection of small-for new york-ethnic towns with all the positives and negatives that brings. Me I' d live in Bay Ridge

I found the site. If you go to the "properties", you will find the location you are looking for. There is also a "careers" section.

Do searches for "no fee" apartments\n\nGo through the classifieds of the villagevoice.com and nytimes.com\n\nBe careful about using "apartment share" services where a company will find you a roommate, many times you can be paired with complete psychos or convicted criminals. Many apartment sharing services do not do any sort of background check whatsoever.

I have a relative that lived in Ny.  They were going throught the same things with Wells Fargo.  However, it took them almost a year before they had to move out.  I would give the tenant notice of the problem as soon as possible.

hey. www.mynewplace.com offers a site where you list for free, but if they find you a renter, you pay a small fee after the lease is signed. let me know if you have more questions.\n\nklein.inga@gmail.com

10 million people in NYC.  At least 10,000 of them have the Carlton Sheets tapes and are pursuing the same homes as you would be..\n\nEven the most undesirable areas in NYC are going to be prime targets for flip transactions.  NYC is an expensive real estate market to cut your teeth.  \n\nYour best bet are smaller college towns where the real estate market is more affordable and there are a lot of tenants who can rent if the market tanks before you can sell for a profit.\n\nMost investors who live in large cities prefer to invest in these smaller towns.  However, they do not have the stomach to deal with tenants.  They  want turn-key investment properties (in other words, they do not want to invest a lot of time or money to fix up bad homes) and great management companies.  If you are willing to do the dirty work to renovate the properties, it may be worth $5K to $10K beyond the cost of the repairs.  If the home is $500,000 this premium is only 1 or 2 % of the price to an investor who doesn't want to get dirty.  If the home is $100,000 this is 5 to 10% of the price, which is a nice return.\n\nMy advice:  find a nice college town with a pretty vibrant real estate market.  Buy an older home, modernize, renovate, fill up with paying tenants, and sell for 25% to 50% more than you paid.  Net after repair costs should be 10 to 20%.\n\nStay away from NYC unless you have a lot of $$$ to lose!

There are several online, but here's a good place to start:\n\nhttp://www.apartmentreviews.net/\n\n"Searching for the right apartment to rent? Find out what others are saying about it."\n\nLet me know if this is the best answer.  Hope it helps!

I had a man fired from his job, arrested for drug posession, and told his girlfriend he was cheating sothat she would leave him. Why all this? Because I wanted his apartment. It may sound odd, but if you ever lived in New York, you'd know how seperate you have to be to find a place.

Did you try the newspaper? There are lots of crazy lunatics outhere. BE CAREFUL!... If you decide to rent out to an online person, get background information.
