We bought our 2 family house in September, the wife decided that she was the one who would post the ads on craigslist.. Well, we had a few bites for the upstairs apartment that we're renting out but, the rules she was trying to lay down and the price behind it.. Only 2 people came and saw it, asked some questions and we haven't heard from them... This is October. I can't blame my wife for wanting to be a little strict at all..
We have been stuck with the full mortgage since we bought the place, her ad has been run since then. I wanted her to feel like this is her place at home so I never had any problems with what she published for an ad for the apartment.
I told her to let me have a try at this. My first ad was published in the beginning of December. We had one person respond immediately. Only problem, she has a pet and I said in my ad that we won't accept pets. She sent me an email stating that she has very good credit and a secure job and all and if I would be willing to make and exception for pets and I sent her an email back.. Sorry, I can't.
Anyhow, my ad went along for a while with no replies. Who can blame anybody? Holiday season, people are going broke from giving gifts to their loved ones.
So, just yesterday, I submitted my ad again. I woke up to my mobile this morning. I'm on vacation BTW and there was a guy who's interested in my apartment.
I said, yeah, come on and have a look, I'm here all day. He stops by, he asks a few questions, I had the answers. He says he has a roomate and if they can both move in, I said, great, it would help you pay the rent..No probs.
The guy has a very secure job and works close to my place., college grad and his coworker is as well. J
He'll call me tomorrow, hopefully to say he's ready to move in. He already lives about 2 blocks away, paying the same amount of rent- the both of them but the roof leaks and he says my apartment clearly blows his place away.
Wish me luck, guys. If not, well, If you want to rent a great apartment in NY, I'll be your landlord.
