- 01/09/08 03:32 AM
While I am sure this could happen anywhere it didn't it happened in Manhattan. They would have gotten away with it except for the fact that their friend looked dead.
Two knuckleheads both unemployed decided to cash their firends social security check. One problem was that their friend had died. So, they dressed him, put him into a chair with wheels and decided to roll him in the chair to the bank to cash the check. Yes, they rolled him through the streets of New York, dead, dressed and in the chair hoping he would look alive and they could get the … (1 comments)

Greenwhich, Ct, Bedford, NY and Old Westbury out on Long Island all continue with older houses being taken down and large McMansions being built.
I live in the Estate Section of a Community in Central Westchester County where the zoning is 1 acre and being a … (1 comments)

new york: Is There a Right Way to Do Things?
- 09/03/07 01:45 AM
I recently rented a house to a very nice young couple. As I went through the process with the listing agent one thing after another happened that in my expereince raised all sorts of red flags...As we went through the negotiation of the price, the lease, etc. I was rather surprised by the suggestions that this agent came up with. This agent is a complete gentleman who has been in the business for under five years successfully. So I began to wonder if there is a right way to do things, or were my reactions to his suggestions just my way … (2 comments)

There really is a lot to know when you buy a co-op and I didn't want her to be uninformed or have any surprises. So I began to email her and guide her as … (2 comments)
