The World, Thanksgiving, Holidays, New Year, NYC deal of the month...

December NYC

Efrain Duenas

Holidays are here, 2015 is over, hello 2016!

It's seems like I'm getting older.. I don't know about you but for me every year goes by faster than the previous year ( I find myself saying the same "Oh this year flew away so fast" ) This is certainly a busy month, filled with joy, celebrations, family, feasts, etc.

The world is resilient.

Even after being hit with negativity and hate attacks, I feel that the world is unifying and who doesn't agree will try to slow it down, Thanks to social media we are part of every developing story no matter where we are. This allows us to strengthen our human touch, to be kind to others, to love, forget and move forward with our heads up.

Thanksgiving.
I hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving and got to indulge with your family's best recipes. ( I ate thanksgiving leftovers for 3 days in a row) I am thankful for so many things and hope you are too. We got a little taste of the cold weather but I read somewhere that this will be a very mild winter but next year the " El niño phenomenon " will be very strong next year (lots of rains) and although this is a Pacific Ocean anomaly NYC and the east coast will be impacted too.

Merry Christmas - Happy Hanukkah -Happy Holidays
May these holidays fill your heart with warmth and love, along the company of your loved ones, always give a smile to people you want to see smile.

Happy New Year!.
Let the celebration continue! From 2015 to 2016 again, feast, joy, party, etc. in whichever order you think is best.
So far it seems like the end of this year will be on the warm side, so let's plan ahead for great weather until next summer.
Wishing you the best from the bottom of my heart, health, love, family, wealth and success in every endeavor you may take on.

Short term Furnished apartments for rent in NYC

Looking to rent a furnished apartment in NYC for 2 or 3 months?

Well you and hundreds of students, interns, relocating professionals and people who's renovating their fancy apartments.

It is very challenging to find an apartment in NYC period. If you want to make this a mission impossible task.. well add furniture and hope that they rent it to you for 3 or more months only.

Finding one..

Almost impossible! please do not go to Craigslist, I've heard stories that you wouldn't want to know.

Pricing..

Let's put it this way.. If there is a regular full term 1 Bdr apartment in the Upper East side for $3000 a month..

The furnished short term version of that would go for $4000 to $4500 or more.. (I know right! crazy) But wait it gets better! 99.9% of the time you'll have to pay everything upfront!!

So if you are looking to rent this apartment for $4000 a month for 3 months, you'll have to pay $4000 x 3months =$1200 + 1 month security deposit (refundable) $4000 + Broker commission for finding the apartment and make sure they accept you (1 month) $4000 The gran total!! $20,000.00

I'll itemize it for you.

Rent $4000 x 3 = $1200

Security deposit = $4000 (refundable)

Broker commission = $4000

Total ---------------- $20,000.00

I know Crazy!! If you are having trouble finding your short term rental, Let me help you!
