Questions about buying a condo in New York City

I currently live in Crown Heights and I am thinking about buying a condo here. A few questions for the hivemind:

1) People that are familiar with NYC: where would you recommend. It seems like I can get reasonably good deals in Bushwick. Is there something about Bushwick I should be concerned about?

​

2) In terms of dealing with HOAs and maintenance fees, is it better to buy a unit in a bigger building or a small building (like 5-10 units).

​

3) Is there any way to find "fixer upper" condos in NYC? It seems like that isn't an option unless you want to buy in a dilapidated building where your unit is the only nice one.

​

4) Anything else I should know?

​

Thanks in advance!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
