I found a cheap studio apartment located in an area I really want to move to, it's part of a co/op and I was told that the utility bill is 400$ a month and that includes heat. Is this reasonable? I'm only 21 and don't have much experience in real estate
I rent a 2/2/2 house in Fl... we're on a well.My electric bill is $120 a month.$400 seems kinda steep, but I don't know where you're looking.
Northern Connecticut near Boston, I thought it seemed a little steep too. In these situations is it unusual for you to just cut yourself off from the other apartments and pay your utilities on your own?
This is the part where I have to point out that I have no idea what things cost in an actual city.I'd say just keep asking around.
Sometimes landlords will raise the utility bill way too high and keep the rent low, because they don't have to pay taxes over the money you give them for the utility bill. At least, that's what they do in the Netherlands. Sometimes.
how much is the rent for the room and how big is it? what are included in the utilities? (Tv? Water? Electric? Gas? Internet?)400 for all those things with the TV being full digital Maybe i could see being 400 but does the guy live in the place too? he might be using you to pay for his own utilities.
it's 7,000 to purchase the apartment, the utility is all i would be paying a month, no rent
>>39354how long is the lease for?
>>39356it's a one room studio co op, I wouldn't be leasing it I would be purchasing it
>>39358hmmm strange .... maybe it could be good.. have you talked to other tenants in the building ?Go door knocking and ask them.How big is the room your getting? does it have washer and dryer in the room it self? If not is it paid also .... again what utilities are included?
Holy shit, $7k to purchase, maint is only $400 a mo?What happens when you go to sell it? Will it be worth more than 7 grand?
Do you have any pictures of it/the building?
>>39391also the neighorhood. a good apartment is nothing in/near the projects.
