in 2007, to my house going for sale as a shortsale. I have tried to obtain employment in Florida for GOD knows how longbut I just didn't have the luck to landing one. I am a single parent and I would like to know how unfortunate am I to even get a landlord to rent me an apartment with these issues now on my plate. (I am willing to pay extra security to get an apartment) I had super credit before loosing everything... now I want to go back to NY and start OVER!!! but I need an apartment preferably in the Middletown, Zerega Avenue area where I am mostly familiar. I am securing a job in a firm so I will be making around 60k. Can someone give me advise on which direction I should take... I have no other family member I can stay with my two kids and I don't want to make it rougher for my kids by moving to a bad neighborhood, bad enough they have to learn what it is to live in NY and in a condenced apt after living in huge home in Florida and not knowing anything less.

Thanks,

Hi Issa,

Parkchester in the Bronx offers a lot of options that match your criteria and price range. Please review the following link that describes the Parkchester community.

http://www.parkchesternyc.com

The apartments are available to rent or to buy. These condos are close to the number 6 train, shops, bus stops and Castle Hill amenities.

Good luck in your search

P.S. Note to the out of state realtor from Illinois. Issa is referring to a section of the Bronx, not Middletown, NY.

Hello Issa,

My office and I have a brand new art deco building that will be opening very soon. I understand that you have had some issues in the past, however, I think it may be very possible to get you into one of these beautiful new units. Please contact me your more information

It will not be easy. I have just finally placed a lovely couple with one child and unfortunately two dogs who have gone through a SC foreclosure. We spent weeks looking but not only found a nice home and a great place (yes, the entire house) in a fab neighborhood, at a really good price. Yes, a landlord who was willing to give them a chance.

You need a Realtor who will not give up on you. and don't be afraid to tell the prospective landlord what you have been through; there are people with hearts!
