Oooo. This is getting exciting again good luck.
A Condo is a series of garden apartment like homes, usually attached to one another. You own it 100%. You take care of the inside, but maintenance takes care of the outdoor work (no mowing!)See what you miss when you don't check everything out from day to day.
I hope you get a wonderful condo soon.
What is a condo? I know it's a condominium but explain.
Oooo. This is getting exciting againgood luck.
hah!They're really pretty looking properties, Draco! :cross: that you get either one.
Or both, then you can rent me the other one.
I really like both of them! The one on the second floor seems brighter with more light. Kitchen is definitely smaller. However, I would go for the main floor one personally. I like the idea of 2 entrances, ground floor is easier to get groceries and larger deliveries into, and I'd love to have a little garden.A Condo is a series of garden apartment like homes, usually attached to one another.

a Co-op is the same as a condo, but you don't "own" it, you own stocks of the apartment, plus you need a board's approval before you can move in. It's cheaper than a condo, but same settings. this is what I am going for.
Here's a link to the two I am looking at an considering bidding on. I just want to look at a few more before I do place a bid

I am leaning towards this one, because its cheaper, and has a front/back entrance with a porch and small gardening plot. it's on the first floor.
here's the other, the one that went back on the market. It has a 20ft balcony and on second floor.

So your going for a co-op. The more expensive one is big and bright. But there's quite a big difference in money.

Just catching up with this thread and the great news that these places are still available!
There's a few questions we are going to ask before putting in a bid for this place:
http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/600-Fulton-St-APT-F1-Farmingdale-NY-11735/2120591109_zpid/
We noticed there was some kind of water damage in the ceiling, we want to find out more about that
Plus, what happened to the home owner. It was obvious she was elderly.. I believe she passed away around Christmas time, because there's still wrapped christmas presents on the table. If she did pass away, we need to find out if its legal to sell it (meaning, if its in the will and what does it say)
Dependign on the answer to the questions we have, the above and more, hopefully we'll get an offer in tomorrow! I love this place!
