大家新年好, 我是Eileen Hsu 許雅嵐, 你也可以稱呼 我Eileen. 我是在曼哈頓做地產的經紀人 (Chinese Speaking Real Estate Agent). 今天我們談一談父母親幫孩子買房子有什麼幾點要注意的.

第 一點是, 紐約這邊的房員有百分之八十五是合作公寓, 如果您在網上看到的話就是叫做coop. 另外一種是condo. 那condo是什麼呢? Condo的話,就是有產權的房子. 有產權的房子對我們華人來講是比較方便的, 因為可以自由的出租或者說是轉賣, 不需要委員會的同意或者批准, 只是有些表格要填, 讓他們通過而已. 那如果我們今天要來買房子, 幫孩子買, 大部分的華人是買condo的. 因為這樣子如果孩子以後就職在別州或者是離開紐約, 可以當作一個投資的機會來出租.

還 有第二點是時間上的關係, 如果說今天您是, 現金買 成交最快也是要四十五到六十天, 四十五天是最快的, 如果你們今天錢已經準備好了在銀行在美國的戶頭. 如果說今天是要貸款, 貸款的話時間就不能掌握了! 因為現在紐約貸款是非常非常的麻煩, 除了貸款人自己要有資格, 第二點銀行還要審核每棟樓,每棟樓都要經過銀行的同意,或者是批准才能借錢. 像過去兩三年前, 只要是您要借款, 你要借錢 ,銀行就願意借給你.

現在是銀行非常的保守. 所以說如果要借款的話, 大慨是九十天到一百六十天都有. 還有一點是, 如果說今天您在紐約, 如果說是有特別的定點要買房子. 其實, 紐約的房員, 其實我們是要注意看百分之十五的房員, condo 紐約這種的房源也不多.

今天您如果要在這裡投資, 或著說幫孩子買房子, 請您跟我來電, 我們可以詳細的談, 我的電話是646-644-6929. 也可以麻煩您打個e-mail給我 我會馬上給你們回電好嗎 謝謝!

St. Vincent's Residential ProposalBy Kevin Korber of Village Confidential

The new luxury development at the former St. Vincent’s Hospital is inching closer and closer to a reality. DNAInfo reports that City Planning has approved Rudin Management’s plans to convert the old hospital into luxury apartments and commercial space.

The decision to approve the rezoning of St. Vincent’s Hospital was unanimous, and the City Planning Commission did not ask for any changes in Rudin’s original plans. City Planning Commissioner Amanda Burden said in the decision that the current plan “successfully integrates new and historic buildings into a site plan that respects the existing built context of the neighborhood.”

The decision outrage Village residents, many of whom have expressed vehement opposition to the new development. Andrew Berman, president of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, told the press that it was “disappointing that they gave privileges intended for a hospital to luxury condos. It’s just wrong.”

The proposal has already received approval from Borough President Scott Stringer’s office despite being rejected by Community Board 2. A City Council vote is required before any construction can proceed on the buildings.

The vote did not affect plans to convert the O’Toole building into an emergency care center. Proposals to convert the St. Vincent’s triangle into an AIDS memorial were also undiscussed.
