I see from earlier posts that you have a studio. How is the space now that you're in? The website says 650 square feet for a 2.5 studio (I think. Maybe that's with a balcony?). I'm really curious to know how it's working out!
Also, you said that the closing costs are "relatively low". About how much would we need above the actual down payment?
Thanks,

Just out of curiosity, where are you seeing square footage mentioned on the website? I don't see it on the "apartment layouts and tours" section and when I've asked management has always refused to answer that question for me--and I currently live there.
No problem, glad to help (I'm not moving quite yet, probably next weekend if I can get the fridge and range delivered then - the nice thing about a mid-month closing is that I have the next two weeks to move).
- I had to provide two years of tax returns. They wanted the full transcripts or worksheets, too, not just the first two pages of my 1040s. You can order those for free online on the IRS website. NY State is stuck in the Stone Age and you have to mail in a request for copies of your state returns. They asked for "certified copies" but I couldn't figure out what that was or how to order them; I just handed over regular photocopies and it was fine.
- My "equity plus assessment" was about $29K/room.
- Yes, $5K should definitely cover all other closing costs, credit union application fees, deposits, etc. I think mine came to a little under $4K.
Hi, I'm new here. Thank you to all for sharing info.
I have two questions: Does the surcharge apply to the purchase price (equity?) of the apartment and monthly maintenance?
Also,
If PS demands 2 years of returns, and income varies widely in each of those years (say one year is under the surcharge threshold and the other is just below max threshold with surcharge), how do they determine what you pay for the apartment and what your maintenance is?
Would anyone be willing to post any more photos of their affordable apartment at SKY. I saw the one bedroom floor plan that someone posted here a while ago. Does anyone have a studio or two bedroom floor plan they would be willing to post or some photos of an apartment?

Lehman College for an Accounting degree - Good or bad idea?
I'm currently starting business classes at Lehman right now. Baruch would be ideal if I can get in. I will try and transfer there for Spring 2019. But I really want to hear the truth about Lehman's accounting program firsthand. I did a search on Linkedin for Accounting grads and CPAs who went to Lehman for their degree and I see some of them listing companies like KPMG and Deloitte plus some private companies too.
Surely, there must be some people here that went to Lehman?

I used to work at Lehman -- won't say where since I don't wanna dox myself but while I never dealt with the Department of Accounting, I do know that Baruch is definitely the much better brand of B.A. by far as you already know...however, any of CUNY's programs will do -- in the end, it's up to the "engine," not the bicycle, as racers would say; you yourself can go a much longer way, usually, than even an alumni network....
I'm not an accountant, but I always got the impression was the main thing that was important was getting the CPA. Having or not having that is more important than where your degree came from.

That's right. Top the CPA with an MBA from the Wharton School and you'll have it "made in the shade."
The sort of flip side is that with a degree from one of the city colleges, and a CPA, you'll still do pretty well. Layer a decent graduate degree on top of that, and you'd likely do very well.
