Macnyc, I got the information about qualifying for a mortgage from the previous posts on this thread, and general google research. Of course I should also speak with a mortgage broker, in this case, specifically the Penn South credit union. If I end up putting my application on hold due to financing, I’ll make sure to share the process on this thread.
actually there were alot of ppl there for other lotteries i asked.
When were you there Lexy?
I was there early even before my scheduled time and the majority were for 420 Kent.
The one Hispanic guy that was there asked someone who was signing in out loud what building they were there for and they said 420 Kent then he asked everyone else and a lot of them said same. He then said yeah we‘ve had a lot of 420 Kent today. Though he said that having a lot of people there for the same building didn’t mean it was bad.
I just got picked for a one bedroom! Is there any way to be moved to the two bedroom wait list? Just had a baby and would love for her to have her own room. Also, how do the home inspections work? Currently live with my parents and my mother is a hoarder..pretty sure I’ll get disqualified due to her hoarding when the home inspection starts so I don’t even think it’s worth getting my hopes up.

Can an applicant request to have their application transferred to another size apartment before they move in to Penn South?
​Applicants on the waiting list are only eligible for the apartment size they originally applied for, unless the family composition has changed since the time of application, in which case they may request to be moved to the bottom of the list for a different sized apartment.
Will lottery applicants for the studio and one-bedroom apartments be allowed to upgrade to a larger apartment before they move in?
​The housing company will permit studio and one-bedroom lottery waiting list applicants who have become eligible for two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments due to the birth of a child or children, to move to the end of the appropriate waiting lists. However, applicants are advised that internal transfers applicants take precedent over outside applicants. Given the high demand from existing residents of the co-op for larger apartments, external applicants may move into a studio or 1-bedroom apartment, and after three years they may ask to transfer internally to a larger apartment. In most scenarios, transferring internally to a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom apartment takes less time than waiting for a two-bedroom or three-bedroom on the external waiting lists.

I know there are a lot of new people to this board that have questions, since being selected.
I suggest you first read the information to what you applied for.
Lasted you have this wonderful thread. Which yes is quite long but if you applied, got selected and plan to move here when you number is up, I suggest you take an hour or so and read it from start to finish.
People going through the process and residents have been very helpful.

Thanks for this info. I actually read the faqs page and about the last 60 pages of this forum. I was pregnant at the time of application and recently had my baby so I didn’t add her on the application. Looks like it’ll be better to stick with the 1 bedroom waiting list and request to move to a 2 bedroom after I move in (if that even happens) will have to work on my mothers hoarding issue until then!

Oh my appt was at 12pm and when they took up upstairs the girl kept asking ppl what property they were there in regards to and I was hearing responses. Then I asked her and she told me most ppl weren’t there for 420 that day. Could’ve just been a time difference.
