a Manhattan co-op buyer

It was my first time buying an apartment--a one-bedroom co-op in an elevator building--and I didn’t know what to expect at the board interview. 

I had heard a lot of different things and was told I could be rejected for any reason.  However, my realtor told me that this was an easy board and that I didn’t need to worry. 

She told me that they wouldn’t be talking to me if they weren’t already relatively comfortable with my financials and that did give me some relief.
