Reply to comment by Sea_Consequence_7699 in Manhattan rents hit an all-time high in January by WarrenBuffetsDriver

>$4k a month, you can just buy a home for less of a monthly debt than that

Haven't looked at houses lately have you? Post up some links to homes, without rats, within 1 hour of the city.

Here’s a whole 2 family house in Woodhaven for sale for $4k a month mortgage which you could offset in the second unit by half. You do not need to own in Manhattan . Period.

30 minutes to lower Manhattan by the J Z train. NYC is only super duper expensive in Manhattan . It’s quite doable to afford to buy in the outer boroughs.

Broken windows on front door. Ceiling collapsing in two spots in living room. Dry rotted structure beams. Water stains all over basement ceiling. The challenge was 4k and no rats. What you linked to needs 200k in reno to be no rats.

Fine here you go . Obviously a 2 family at that price isn’t perfect. But here’s a 1 family house for even less that isn’t in disrepair. I can easily fulfill your challenge by any 300k or below coop in queens or Brooklyn by the way.

89-34 91st Street, Woodhaven, NY 11421

Most New Yorkers live in the outer boroughs - Manhattan has 1/5 the population of the whole city . Yes the Manhattan population is over represented in this sub Reddit but that’s to be expected.
