How Can I Found An Apartment To Rent In Manhattan Without Paying A Broker Fee?
Jun 07, 2007 by Mike W | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
When I search on craigslist it seems to be that everyone is a go-between or trying to charge a fee.
If you already finish in the City (or real close) you've got a chance...if your relocating from outside the area...I got be honest...it's a extended shot. It's hard EVEN W/ A BROKER!!!
If you're in the City...you gotta network like crazy...ask everyone you be aware, put your own ad on CL, put posters up in coffee shops, pizza places, etc. Also look in places other the CL...try the Voice, the Appointment, the Times, the Daily News...
If you're relocating you may want to consider a roommate situation (where they already have the apartment) until you get settled and can find your own become successful.
Lastly don't be afraid to work w/ a broker...ask questions...look at some rentals...learn what you can. Some brokers will aside for a bit of negotiation regarding their fees... this will only work if you make good money (150+K) ...have a mephitic rental history and impeccable credit...in other words...if you don't need a broker.
It's worth every bit of attainment you will put into it...NYC's the place to be!! Happy Hunting!!
Who Knows Of Any No-fee, Managed Apartments In NYC?

There is a residential complex in Manhattan I have faith it's in Midtown. Not really sure but the name of this apartment complex is Waterside Plaza it has many amenities such as a salubrity spa, on site parking, a pool, and a doorman. It's also said to have a "small town" tenderness. I'm moving to Manhattan with a close friend of mine for college in the fall. We've decided to share rent in lieu of of living on campus. Who knows of any managed apartment complexes in Manhattan similar to Waterside Plaza?
Try Roosevelt Holm, it's definitely got the feel of a small town within NYC (see link, below)...
How Much Would A Holding Fee For A 2br, $2000 A Month, Apartment In Manhattan Be?
Mar 05, 2007 by chrissy c | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
There are no "holding fees" in NYC.
If an apartment is stabilized, the guarantee deposit is limited to one months rent, and all landlords require the first month in advance.
If the apartment is not stabilized, you (depending on return, credit, desirability of the apartment, etc) may have to cough up an entire years rent in advance.
An ordinary brokers fee is 10% to 15% of the yearly rent. That is also payable before you take possession.
Unless you choose 40 times the monthly rent, you may need someone with considerable assets to guarantee your hire out.
