Just go ahead and get a preapproval from their “preferred” lender...agents do this, as they should, simply because they know Their lender will do a Real preapproval....2 years tax returns, W-2’s bank statements , etc....unlike many who just run a credit report.

Forbes reported last week that rents in Manhattan are down 18.5% compared to a year ago, Brooklyn is down 16.2% and Queens 13.1%.

Luckily for me I know how to look at the inspection report as it is updated live online at the county website.
