I think his point was, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as a $1500 non condo mortgage in NYC.

In Manhattan? Of course not and there hasn't been for years.

But you can certainly still find a sub-$2000 mortgage payment in a decent neighborhood in Brooklyn without living in a 40-unit building.

That's interesting. Sounds like my Park Slope sister in law needs to look in different neighborhoods. Eh?

My point is my wife and I pay $4000 a month for our mortgage.

Where?

Coop maybe... but you wouldn't own that. And you still have maintenance fees on top of the mortgage. For $2000 mortgage you would have to have a pretty big chunk to put down or it would have to be a small condo (1-bedroom or studio).

We rent out an apartment on the top floor so technically our mortgage is $2500.

Single available for $105. PM for details.

We lucked out with an awesome space in Greenpoint.

The room was originally desiged to be a 'mastering suite' but somehow ended up solely housing our band and one other solo-artist type dude.

The dude who owns the building is some independently-wealthy Euro-Trash guy.

I would like to introduce you to a geographical and cultural phenomenon known as "Columbus, Georgia."

But I'd have to go there to do that, and I would prefer not to.

Fuck this.

I'm looking for a share. PM me with info. No jackasses.
