That's right, you shouldn't have.

I love your pink boxer shorts, by the way...very fetching.

Or ... maybe not... !

That's funny. The d**k of the year award...fancy.

Not sure. Is it a "M/D" or a true 2 family? I think that may make a difference. Not sure how many of them there are.

Do a search on multi familes on mlsli.com. Seems to not make much of a difference.

Yes you are.

From the NYS STAR site:

"All New Yorkers who own and live in their one-, two-, or three-family home, condominium, cooperative apartment, manufactured home, or farm dwelling are eligible for STAR on their primary residence."

A true two family the taxes are a bit higher, but not double or not even an additional half of what you pay (such as you pay 10,000 for a single family and then 15,000 for a two family).

Taxes are usually about 1,000-2500 more from what I have seen.
