I am shopping for an apartment in Harlem area around 150th and Bradhurst, and I need your opinion in where I can negotiate in terms of monthly rent and commission fee charged by an agent.Below are the facts:-The 1 bed room apartment is listed on Trulia.com for 80 days-Original asking price was $1850 and recently reduced down to $1750.

I’d be a hypocrite at that point and I have a higher authority to answer to . .. and Really Your not fooling anybody because it only takes a simple online search or call to the tax assets office to find out who actually owns the building even if it’s in a llc .

I met my fiance 2 years ago by using an online dating service.

Any tips/tricks would be appreciated!

The property will most likely be a duplex/triplex and FHA is out of the question, as I am locked into a one year lease.Also, any tips on getting started are welcome.

Shop around for a good, reputable lender who can qualify you before you buy and rehab a property.  

There is information online about cities that have the most flipping activities and cash buyers that should give you a good idea of maybe a popular area.I think most importantly, is building a buyers list so you know what kind of properties to focus on.
