I can hardly wait to sell my apartment in Manhattan to buy me a worn down brownstone just outside a nice neighborhood in BROOKLYN!!!
hahahahahaha……
10.45 AM, am not to same person as 8.09, sorry… dyslexic typing after a long day at work and one drink! 11.57, thank you for the advice; rate is fixed for 15 yrs (balloon), my only concern being the income on the books is still a little low . I’m curious, 10.45, why it offends you so that 2 people might converse on this blog, not offending anybody, merely sharing information…?
Nobody talks about the houses because nobody posting here actually sees or has seen the houses on the HOTD or Open House Picks lists, 4:47.
So it’s all totally uninformed useless information.
I wish people would actually talk about the properties, instead of arguing about the economy, how they fit into the NYC income distribution, or whether Brooklyn real estate is on the way up or down. Can Brownstoner create a separate section of the site for incessant whining and bickering?

If you have a Jumbo its going to be tough. It depends what you are in right now at that rate. If its fixed it most likely would not pay to change. However if you are in an ARM at that rate it would pay to look into it. The problem would most likely be what you qulify for. Call around and feel it out. I have seen guys trying to refinance and they quilify for about half of what they got on a no doc. WHere I am we wont touch that any longer. If your finances have gotten better you might be surprised at how much better you can do. Has the income gone up? Have you built up more cash reserves? Have you held a steady job? Maybe your credit score has gone up? Call a couple of th big banks and see what they say.
“If you wish to grow old gracefully, buy an apartment in an elevator building with a large staff.”
It’s the lack of exercise that makes an elderly person feeble and arthritic.
For many elderly people in our neighborhood, they are staying in their houses with their stairs and garden. Good for them. The other day my husband tried to help one elderly neighbor bring her groceries up her front steps, and she good naturedly insisted “this is the only exercise I get!”. I’d rather be independent, hearty and healthy like that when I age, thank you very much. Not some feeble thing sitting all day while people bring me things. Like my father! Who I worry a lot about. His inactivity has aged him a lot over the last few years.
Come off it, 10:48. It’s so obvious you are the same person as 8:09.
Same typos, punctuation, language and grammatical mistakes. At least type differently when you are trying to seem a different person.
8.09, I’m interested in what you are saying about refinancing. I got my mortgage through serious broker shenanigans (stated income for slef-employment plus a regular job), and have a pretty high interest rate. My credit history iss brief since I have only lived in the US for 5 years. I know it would prehaps save me a bit of money to refi, but I have a feeling what you are saying would apply to me: my oncome on the books is just not high enough, though i have been paying the mortgage for 18 months now. Stick with the %7.25 or try to whittle it down a bit, do you think…?
