Thank you for the responses to my post. Sadly, a lot of these waitlists take forever regardless.

i wonder how that works if a townhouse is a "studio" but their advertisment states a townhouse is for "1-3 persons"

That's what I heard when I called, too. The way it's written on Mitchell Lama Connect led me to believe the townhouses were one bedrooms but they're large studios.

I think, knowing this, I miiiiight pass on this one. What do you all think?

Hi Shady, The way I see it, it doesn’t hurt to submit the application. All one would lose is the time to fill out the application and the $75 fee. You don’t have to take the apt when you get called but it might be nice to see what the apt is like. I still have my eyes on Penn South since I was drawn for a 1br there vs a studio at Village East. I’m still submitting the application for the latter.

Not good news for me since my log number is 18X...

[shadypinesma]

Me, neither. Mine is 29X! I was all excited because I thought they were private one bedrooms lol.

What is the policy on renting out a Mitchel Lama and do you have to pay property tax if you buy a Mitchel Lama co-op?

[Elicamb]

who are these people asking all these googleble questions?

[lesdweller]

Apparently there are only 16 townhouses. The wait will likely be many many years for most of us.

[shadypinesma]

It's not for me. I'm relinquishing my spot. So, that's one less person between you guys and the townhouse even though my number was very high!
