Real Estate Investing in New York by Christina Kremidas

In this I'm breaking down the surprising truth about co-ops versus condos in New York City real estate. While co-ops are known as the more affordable option with lower purchase prices, I'll show you the shocking math that reveals they actually require MORE income and cash on hand than their pricier condo counterparts. Through a detailed side-by-side comparison of a $1M co-op and $1.25M condo, I'll expose how co-op down payment requirements, debt-to-income ratios, and post-closing liquidity demands dramatically change the affordability equation. About the Host: Christina Kremidas is a lifelong New Yorker who brings her extensive background in advertising to her successful real estate career in Manhattan. Her personal experience as a property investor and landlord in New York City gives her unique insight into her client's needs, while her negotiation expertise and market knowledge have quickly established her as a top-performing agent, ranking among the top 1.5% of licensed Agents in the United States for Sales Volume and among the Top 10 highest producing Small Teams at Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Check out my website Description: In this episode, I’ll teach you how to renovate your NYC residence for maximum return on your investment. I’m explaining which home improvements are money-makers, and which you’ll end up taking a loss on. The key to renovating an apartment with the intent of selling is to achieve a modern, clearly ‘renovated’ aesthetic, while omitting unnecessary features and expenses that will not increase the price your home sells for. I hope you find this information helpful, and please reach out to me if you have any questions!
