Just found this thread last week. I'm a disabled veteran, had my interview back on Oct. 13th, but haven't heard anything since. All of my paperwork was in order. Reading this is making me nervous, trying not to think about it, but it's driving me nuts. Congrats to those that have gotten in.
Congrats did they mention when lease signing would be ?
I was told that they will forward my file to the owners who will put me in touch with someone to sign my lease (within 1-2 weeks). Someone called to ask if I want a 1 or 2 year lease so far but no date was given during the call. We sign with a different company... all in all we will deal with 3 different companies. MAHNY, Forest City and then the company they chose to handle the lease signings for the building
Hello all, it has been real!i went in to sign the TIC forms and the amount of rent they said my husband and i would have to pay was almost 2,000 for a 1 bedroom. We currently pay 1600 for a 2 bedroom.
They said we were 3,000 over the salary bracket to qualify for the affordable( for us) rent of 1314, so somehow making 3k more (which was a projection number they came up with for our future gross salary, not considering possible losses or tax rates, or not getting a bonus this year from my job) , means that we can afford to pay 5,000 more in rent a year for less space.
Disappointed and very disheartening as my husband's self employed and his salary fluctuates so there is no fair number they could come up with that would be accurate
We signed the TIC forms anyway to see if somehow by the grace of God, HDC calculates our numbers differently than they will... but we doubt they will and we can't pay MORE when the whole point was to make it affordable for us now.
So our slot will be up for grabs off the waitlist for someone who makes 75-95k (after taxes this is more like - 42-3"45 /52-55 a year) and can afford it in about a month.
Word is many people are rejecting apartments in middle income range because the calculations they came up with suggest 1900 or more for 1bdrm is affordable.
We were told a story about a 3 family who based on salary calculations, said they could pay 3,000$ for a 2 bedroom.
They Said she just got up and walked out. Lol.
Well, it's been real folks! I wish you all the absolute best of luck.
And my apologies but I didn't even attempt to ask about move in timing or dates.
Out of curiosity we will go see the apartment next week and if approved they will call us still, but unless the number is lower, we will reject it at that time. I'm 98% sure about that.
