I like the layout or this unit. I know exactly where this property is and was always curious what they looked like inside. Thanks for showcasing

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

You’re welcome.

[@gabrielmumjiev5990]

A very instructive video, thank you. As soon as I learned about the HOA fee, I got lost. The beauty of HOA fee is that it can be increased indefinitely and arbitrarily, and if you can't afford it...

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

You’re welcome 🙏

[@ScorpionReddz]

One of the main reasons why I will not move back to DC is because of those radiators and wall AC units😅 the cost is too high to still have the building regulated by radiator heat. I am so sorry. Central AC and heat is always the move when you’re purchasing because the heat is regulated by the owners of the building and some of these places and you can’t just turn the heat on yourself.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

I feel you on the struggle with those old-school radiators and wall AC units. Central AC is definitely the way to go for comfort and convenience!

[@AlxndrHQ]

This is a really nice home

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

👍

[@theonewhoknows9615]

Thanks, very informative. Co ops aren’t for me, going in front of a board, to live there. Sounds like Jim Crow rules to blacks out (probably how co ops got started). 2nd sounds like a job interview but you’re buying This is a Hard Pass!!!

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Lol yup.. that why it isn’t for everyone

[@BigCrossVita]

I left DC in 2013, moved to Delaware. Kept my DC pay, purchased a home for $95k 3bd, 2.5ba, garage, rowhome downtown. $5 Amtrak home to visit family. Move NOW!!

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

gotta do what works for you 💪

[@BigCrossVita]

@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor You can come too 😂 Or at least get licensed here so you can get them situated. Ijs 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

lol I am all about the city life. Delaware might be a lil too slow paced for me 😬

[@BigCrossVita]

@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor Downtown is thriving. Wilmington's population was 70k last time I checked. At least come visit 😂

[@mizzmolly7649]

​@@BigCrossVita I worked in Wilmington for about 5 years, until 1995. It's not for everyone. Now I'm in the DMV.

[@phanessphaness2265]

Wait, I’m so confused. Aren’t these the co-ops that’s on Emerson and New Hampshire Ave., NE. When did they start calling that the Petworth area that is the Fort Totten area? I’m only 47 years old and been in DC my whole life other than leaving for college and starting my career. My cousin went to the elementary school around the corner Rudolph elementary that is now Latin. They actually still live in one of the units there. Their grandparents used to own the laundromat across the street decades ago……just so confused ??? My mom also owned a building on the other side of New Hampshire Ave. next to the Mini Mart. The building was on first Street, but right next Mini Mart on New Hampshire Ave.

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

yea thats the tail end of Petworth. once you cross new hampshire avenue, you are in Fort totten.

[@jennifergraham9679]

They don't give square foot for co-op, you are buying shares in the building

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

when you say they don't give square foot, what exactly do you mean?

[@VivSees]

Beautiful but zero closet space.

[@Yassi-fc6by]

Why buy this over condo?

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Lower barrier to entry

sure is

[@agmcroom2374]

Just buy a real condo

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

There’s a certain section of the population that cant afford. Co-op’s present a more affordable alternative.

[@lookingfordrama01]

YALL COUNT ON PEOPLE BEING STUPID AND LAZY!😂😂😂

[@BashirBadruDMVRealtor]

Quite an interesting take there . Because someone will buy an asset that you wouldn’t buy or have a different opinion about makes them stupid and lazy? Ahh i see.

[@lookingfordrama01]

@@BashirBadruDMVRealtor A HOUSE/ CONDO IS NOT AN ASSET! ITS THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS. . THE METRICS VARY GREATLY. TIMING IS EVERYTHING. EVERY “PENNY” YOU PUT IN THAT HOUSE MINUS THE UNKNOWN SELLING PRICE. RARELY IS WORTH THE TOTAL COST OF TIME, MONEY, AND ENERGY.
