Big Mistake… She Moved into a 275 sqft Apartment in NYC

The landlord would be smart to keep her as a tenant as long as she wants to live there. She takes good care of the place, and has actually increased its value.

Great video Cash! I love how Rachel added her own cozy improvements and upgrades to enhance her personal style of self. The shower head is insane! And the coffee table made me gasp😮. And the very fact that her landlord is not only supportive of her upgrades, but that he's not a financial vampire seeking more $ to keep her on as a SATISFIED AND HAPPY TENANT speaks volumes.

$1,900 for a livable NYC apartment that is well located and that doesn’t have to be shared with roommates AND on a 2 year plus 1 year extension is a godsend.

I do appreciate the little cart on wheels that can be moved into the kitchen space when needed. I would probably be storing my crockpot(s) and juicer on a shelf just to the right of the the fridge, and move the couch down a bit. And yes, the fridge doors would be less practical for use when actually cooking in the kitchen. Given the limited storage for the ingredients one would cook with, I"m guessing that the New Yorkers who DO cook go shopping right before they will cook and don't store ingredients in the fridge for long.

[@facetiouslyinsolent8313]

I hear people talking about how expensive California is all the time, yet my mortgage on a 1,900 sq ft home in a gated community right next to a shopping center, food, gas, tires, grocery store and theatre is $2,200. She's paying $1,900 for that, holy cow!!!

[@zeeqq105]

She’s paying for the location. She’s in a great neighborhood.

@@zeeqq105 In NY, you have to do that as a woman. Not safe in some places.

[@zeeqq105]

@@ST-rj8iu There is no real “safe” place in Ny unless you’re super rich and even that’s shaky because usually most of the time you can’t tell the difference between the rich or celebrities. Those are the people who sometimes have security or bodyguards. Every place has the potential to be bad. It’s big city life. She’s paying for convenience. She lives around everything. Transportation, theaters, bars, restaurants, schools, nightlife etc etc. Literally steps away. I’d would have killed for a place like this when I was in college in Brooklyn.

@@zeeqq105no she is not. she is in a city with a crime rate of a 3rd world country. And dont come up with some BS liek she has a lot of opportunities, when she has no money.... i would rather use that money to live in a european capital...

I’m 55 and I love your channel…not planning on moving to NYC but I like looking at it…this girl is going places in life, I’m impressed with her…thanks for showcasing her and her approach to living in NYC!

[@jgrafx]

Rachel is an amazing person and a totally great organizer and builder. She has made her low-rent, small studio into a New York palace. She is obviously a survivor and and great at seizing and making best use of her opportunities. No wonder her landlord likes her and extended her lease. This tenant has improved his rental property immensely. Bravo!

[@LGAussie]

So many ppl with tiny spaces don’t know how to utilize all the space above. All those kitchen cabinets can have added cabinets above it for extra storage. The height is there. Same thing with bed. She could turn the bed towards the kitchen, and make a higher base for more storage. It would only take about 6” away from the bottom of the window, but would create less clutter of items she doesn’t need sitting around. The nightstand is useless anyway. She could have a hanging lamp or sconce instead nearby. A little wall shelf there would be enough for her phone or drink.

[@thekweskinreport]

Cash - Thank you for sharing Rachael's story. More of these posts, please. It is inspirational to hear people talk about their housing solutions - adapting to make their space work. You are appreciated.

[@sacmom3]

This has got to be one of the cutest little places Cash has shown. Rachel has really decorated well.👍🏽

[@teresabarnes-matych]

I am so Grateful for what we were finally able to buy in the Countryside in a California farming and ranching community by the Sea. It is a 1971 Authentic Mexican Tiled home on ~1 acre with no street lights and lots of wildlife! Best of Luck NYC Dwellers❣️🙏

[@frankthecat]

With a little imagination you can make a cozy home in the smallest of spaces. ❤

[@KyleKing-vx4by]

WOW! What a fantastic apartment! She really made that limited space work good for her👍👍❤️😁😁🙏

[@clairet5636]

This looks cozy and cute. It's impressive when people manage to both be minimalistic but still stylish with decorations.

[@kittensugars]

She did very nicely with her tiny space. It's homey. It would kill me to pay $1900 for it, but if it's working for her..fantastic.

[@debsylvester2012]

Cash- I really enjoyed this episode. What fantastic design, use of space and perfect selection of materials. Everything looks cozy and creative. Great job today. Every aspect was filled with warmth and charm. A+. Keep going!☮️👏👏👏👏

[@michaelpfister1283]

Rachel has done an amazing job making this tiny apartment liveable and "hers". I hope she can stay there for as long as she wants/needs to. If her landlord has ANY brains he'll keep her a happy tenant. 🙂

[@standunitedorfall1863]

She is a very good organizer. It looks much larger than what it is. And it's bright, and airy. Super cute. Too expensive, but that goes with the territory I guess. Thanks for letting us see.

[@jenofire8724]

I love what she’s done! Being in Japan, our house is rather small(for our family) so watching all the great ways she’s maximized her space is just remarkable! I’d love to follow her and see what other ways she has of maximizing space.

[@sagittariusblu5701]

I think she did a lot of smart things to maximize her small space. Good job 👍🏾

[@outofmanyweareone6429]

[@lynnewillette2654]

Because of the add-ins and the organization, she has everything you might need and want in this small space without it feeling claustrophobic or stuffy. It’s attractive and comfortable. It’s a true home. Fantastic.

[@Leelee...]

What a fabulous job she did, making that place a wonderful home... It's charming.

[@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206]

Girl! I use my ceiling fans all the time; I've got one I never turn off! It's by the heater/air conditioning unit and helps to disburse the heat (& A/C) throughout the house, which is also small but no quite as small as her place!

[@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206]

She should be using her ceiling fan especially since her ceiling is high! Also check the switch for hot/cold so whether the fan pushes air down or up.

[@DrLakeciaReddrick]

I think it’s still a shame, because $1,900 is ridiculous for 275 sq ft. She is paying $1,900 for a tiny home that’s not hers😢😳

[@vparker4960]

We live in 3 bedroom house in Maine with 2 acres of land. Our mortgage is less than $1300/mo. Just to put into perspective to her $1900 a month for 275 Sq ft.

[@mrxman581]

She's done a great job organizing the available space. The high ceilings help the space feel bigger too. That's always a plus.

[@christinej2358]

She has done a great job with adding storage space to the wasted area in her apartment. Love how she decorated it too. It looks very comfortable and cozy. One suggestion for her is to purchase a Swifter 6 foot extender duster. I use mine to dust my ceiling fans that I can’t reach. Just dusting them during your weekly cleaning keeps them dust free. That way she can actually use her ceiling fan during the hot summer months. Plus the duster collapse down to only less than two feet long and can be stored anywhere. The disposal dust pads can actually be shaken off in trash can to get several uses out of them instead of just one time use.

[@jasonburque]

I really needed this 😀 I'm building shelves to finish up on my place mostly from scraps from the renovation and plywood I've found.. So many great ideas to think about

[@smargrave]

Cash, you’re hitting home run after home run with your videos as of late. I love your news stories videos but I love these ones even more! I’m so glad you are continuing on with this series. Erik Conover was supposed to be doing these type of videos but it looks like he prefers showing off apartments only the wealthy can afford. While those videos are cool its nice to see how normal people who make normal wages live in their modest and small apartments. :)

[@tiramisu2506]

I admire how Rachel is such a good sport with the way this guy is reaching for everything in her apartment. I would have thrown him out within 3 minutes flat! 😁

[@robinfrady5257]

Very cute! The very high ceilings would make me want to have a loft up on the end where her bed is. That would be a great place to make a sleeping cove and open up that floor space.
