Thanks, I was a broker for ten years. If your apartment is not worth at least 10% more within 10 years you got a legendarily bad deal or you demolished your apartment. It simply does not happen in NYC. [ Reply | More

I do both. We own an apt that we rent out, and rent a larger one that we love in. I remember why I hate renting. The increases are horrible, and we are just throwing that money rent money away. It's far higher than a mortgage would have been. [ Reply | More

We make money renting our old place, so it's an investment that's working for us. We needed more space when we had db, so we rented a larger place. We would have had to dig really deep for another down payment, and we didnt want to be house poor. [ Reply | More

How do you rent the one you own? Are you making money on it? Using a realtor to find renters? [ Reply | More

Yes we make money on it. Our rate is really low (we did a refi when the rates dropped). Rent is so high now, that we rent it for more than our mortgage plus maintence). We listed it with our broker (who we bought it from). The tennants paid a brokers fee. We have had the same tenants for a couple of years now. [ Reply | More
