Thinking about leaving the city for more space, a yard, or better schools? Here's what nobody tells NYC renters before they start touring houses.
I've helped buyers make this move since 2003, and the same few surprises come up every time: → Taxes that can be as big as the mortgage → School district lines that don't match the town name → Commute times that look great on paper but not at rush hour → Lease dates that don't line up with closing
So I put the whole plan into one free 12-page Roadmap for Westchester and Rockland: checklist, monthly cost worksheet, commute times by town, and a 6-month timeline.
Where are you in the process: just dreaming, saving up, or ready to start looking? Tell me below and I'll send you the Roadmap.
