jennylhq I don't believe the buy-in prices for the one and three bedroom apartments have changed from what was printed for the lottery notice last year, a 1 bed was around $8,600.

Wanting_to_move - Current income limits are here: HPD - Find Housing - Mitchell Lama (either of the last two columns, they are the same). I do believe they did go up since they had the two-bedroom lottery. Plus I think you are still a bit far away to be called in 2015.

I don't know what the implications are of that lnycnyc. Unless your number is under 150 I am pretty sure you won't be called this year anyway.

The price is listed on the announcement ad. You can find a copy of it on my photo album. That price should be a good estimate since its from last year. I've been saving also. Best of luck

@ PopArtist

Thanks Pop! I have a bit to go about 250 numbers ahead of me :-(
I'm thinking that maybe early next year.

In the mean time I'm just gathering as much saving as I can and making sure that my credit and income are within the limits.

I'm waiting on BronxVet to answer my question. I'm not 100% sure on what kind of credit score they are looking for. Do you know? I thought it was 640 - 700 but it's never been confirmed.

I dropped off my tax returns, w2's, and recent pay stubs on Friday. I am not sure about the credit Score they are looking for. My credit check is good for 6 months so I don't have to have another one for now.

I called them about the 1099c. They said they count that as income. I am in the 30s so I asked what the implications are. They said not to worry about. Basically everyone ahead of me except 5 people submitted their application. They said there is no way they'll call me this year. The income affidavit is due April 30th so I don't expect much movement until after that date. The women told me that the 1 bedrooms become available when people leave or upgrade to 2 or 3 bedrooms. I doubt people really leave, but I believe most people upgrade.

What's your approximate number? Good luck on the wait!!
When I received the post card I had #50. I called earlier this year and after all applications were received with the correct Money Orders, I dropped down to #18. Hopefully I will get called by the end of this year.

Default thanks

Thanks for reply, 8,600 is a good price, i thought one stock price of one bedroom is 8,600, but didn't how many stocks one bedroom counts.
