1)Is the mortgage on a coop tax deductible?
2) Would i be able to write off depreication (if Im filing as a poker pro) and if so would deprecaiting it over 27.5 year be correct?
3)What is the best way to start looking for a "good deal" on the coop (I dont know [censored] about real estate and netiehr do any firneds/family)
4)How much off of the asking price does property usually go
for (sorry if this is a dumb question and if theres no way to give a reasonable answer)
5) How can I best detemrine a good price?
6) Are coops generally a better alternitive to renting (assume i will live here for alteast 10 years)
7)Ive read closing costs are 5-10% of the sale price. If I pay in cash how much cheaper should they be (whether or not I paid in cash would depend on the answer to question #1 and
if I could even get a loan at a good interest rate)
Thanks in advance from a complete newbie at this

most likely a studio or 1 bedroom
I also just got an email back with more info about one of them and it said
Additional fees: Y/$12.25

Sorry if I aksed some dumb questions, but there seem to be some knoweledgabl real estate people here and I dont want to ask basic quesions to real estate agents who will no doubt try and take advantage of my naiveness.
