  1. First two apartments: not really for me. Amanda's apartment: great! Amanda could start a side business as a decorator.

  2. The only change I would make: in the bedroom I would turn the little sofa around so it face the window and the view outside. What a great spot to read a good book or to just look at the scenery as it changes during the day and in different weather conditions.

  3. Thank you, Cash, for having us over for a visit and for sharing some of your outside-the-office life with us! It was so nice to see little Violet and it's great that she's now the second generation to use your Cash chair!

  4. Terrific video, Cash.Your channel has gone from not only apartments available, but to news and information that provides a real service. Outstanding work. And I'm already looking forward to our next trip with you to Japan!

  5. Happy slightly belated birthday, Mrs. Jordan! Thank you to all three of you for taking us along with you and letting us visit with you at home. Stay warm and well on this cold winter day!

  6. Good to see a staircase that's sturdy and solid, not something that's only one notch away from being a ladder.

  7. This is great, Cash! It's a pleasure to see a Japanese house and how it works and to see the surrounding area. I'm looking forward to what's next.

  8. Cash, not only could that little alcove be used as a home office, it's a great place to set up A SHRINE TO YOUR GOD!

  9. I've been accepting the fact that I'm more vulnerable than I used to be: I'm now in my early 60's; I have arthritis in my knees and hips along with circulatory trouble in my right leg so I generally walk with a quad cane; if I tried to run I'd possibly just collapse. But...I do have a new can of pepper spray! Still it's good to just be aware of your surroundings and to plan ahead.

  10. Yay! Another trip to Japan! Great to see Mrs. Jordan and Violet and Eliza again. I'm looking forward to what's next! Have a wonderful time in Japan. Amazing that you can get there so quickly. A hundred years ago there would be a train trip that would take days across the U.S. then another days-long trip by ocean liner to Japan. Now it's 21 hours. Zowie!

  11. With older buildings whose apartments have been gutted, I wish I could see what the original apartments were like. I don't mind something that isn't brand new and that looks like it's from another era. But all the apartments seen here, including Roberto's, were really nice.

  12. Thank you for taking us along, Cash! It's fun to join the three of you on a trip. May 2022 be a special year of success and blessings to you and Mrs. Jordan and Violet!

  13. Great apartment overall but one small part is an issue for me: the stove is next to the wall and there is no tile above the stove as there is over the back of the counter area. Will there be food and grease stains on the wall next to the stove? Can you be comfortable cooking without some elbow room on either side of the stove? If you use the right-hand side burners that's a lot of heat only inches from the wall. Will the wall eventually be scorched?

  14.  @vicki8261  Well said. After the death of my mother (who I believe was worn to death) I had to put my brother who had Down Syndrome and dementia into a group home. I didn't want to do it, but his needs had become such that he needed a team of people to look after him around the clock. I helped my mother to help my brother, but when it was mainly myself and a little transportation help from a sibling, I couldn't do it. I was being worn out. I now see how the caregiver can be the one to die before the person receiving the care.

  15. I knew that was the Sheffields' house! And, as I recall, this wasn't Cash's first visit to that house. Cash, this may be a long shot but here goes: you talked about using the basement as a home office. Maybe you and your family could rent this apartment and you could operate your business from the basement? Whatever decision you make about the new office space, blessings to you in finding the right location.
    45
  16. Both wonderful places. I lean more toward the second. I'd love to see the houses as they were when new. The probably had double parlors and servants quarters. These houses make me think of the stories and novels of Louis Auchincloss. He once wrote about being in real life in the home of a wealthy New York City family to meet a couple friends to go to a dance or some-such. The mother called up the stairs, "Don't forget your poils. goils!" ("...pearls, girls"). That New York accent originated from the wealthy Dutch and when New York was still Nieuw Amsterdam.
    43
  17. This place is Wow City. Only drawbacks: I don't go for bathrooms that connect bedrooms; the privacy issue/possibility of someone walking in on you at an awkward moment. Also if the elevator is the only means of entering and exiting the apartment then the apartment is not for me because of fire safety/emergency issues. Too for an extra layer of protection I'd rather have an elevator that opens into a foyer or hallway, not right into my living space.
    41
  18. All that long living room space: finally room to have all my boxed-up but as-yet-unread books out on shelves and organized! I have so little in the way linens that I could use some of the shelf space in the linen closet for books. Both apartments are great. I'm at a point in life where I no longer like the idea of living alone (age and health reasons) and the second apartment would be a great set-up for two people to be there but still have space and privacy. And with a sink sprayer and room for our shrines, who in their right MIND could possibly ask for more???

  19. Cash, you've turned me into a more discerning viewer. The first apartment is a dud. As Ilya mentioned below it's really a divided studio apartment. It's mostly better-than-nothing. The bedrooms are more sleeping compartments than bedrooms. For two people to live there and spend much time together it would be a strain. Second apartment: not bad! A huge improvement over the first.
    37
  20. Cash, I have a question I hope you'll have time to anwer: Sometimes you show apartments that viewers suggest you and your family move into. If you did go to and found an apartment that would work for you and Mrs. Jordan and Violet, would you be allowed to rent that apartment yourself or would there be a conflict-of-interest rule or law that would keep you from renting one of the apartments you or your company handles?
    33
  21. Thank you Cash and Kunami and Violet for taking us with you! It's fun to see what people do in New York; so different from my experience of growing up with a soybean field behind the house---and we lived in town!
    32
  22. Great place! All the apartments are terrific. For me the icing on the cake is a view that has the hills off in the distance AND that walk-through closet could be lined with bookshelves to be a home library.
    29
  23. Thank you for sharing all this , Cash. You are an inspiration, guide, and mentor. I might be considered almost the opposite of you as I'm not an entrepeneur and I assume leadership when there is no one else to do it---and I've found I'm very good at it but don't have the natural inclination. Some people such as yourself are born "starters" and leaders and some such as myself are what I call strong followers---and there's room and need for both types. Thanks for sharing your experiences and outlooks, Cash. I think you and even I with our different approaches and strengths can help people figure what works best for them.

  24. Cash, you have my vote! Wonderful apartment and especially for people who enjoy doing a lot of entertaining. Great walk-in closets and so much can be done with the apartment: the room off the living area might be made into a home library or a studio for an artist. The windowless room could be a place for retreat and quiet. Someone is going to have a lot of enjoyment in living in this apartment.
    28
  25.  @eleanoraquitaine2966  I second the motion! Amanda has taken a small a space and not only made it look great but has made great use of that space. The apartment looks good and is efficient.

  26. That bathroom was a major turn-off. It appears to be an extension of the bedroom and not a separate space. If a guest wanted to use the bathroom, they would have to close and lock the bedroom door to have any real privacy. A bathROOM is a separate ROOM. For me: no privacy, no deal.
    25
  27. I ike the neighborhood but the apartment is not for me: I saw a LOT of wasted, empty vertical space; cubicles that pass for bedrooms and a major lack of closet space. A "bedroom" with a 17-foot ceiling? A cramped kitchen space that's almost if not two storeys high? Things are just not right with this apartment.
    22
  28. Great advice, Cash, for someone thinking about moving to/already living in New York---or anywhere else. Also I have a kryptonite cable lock for my bicycle AND I sometimes put a kryptonite U-lock through the back wheel so the bike is locked twice. It may still get stolen but the thief is going to have to work for it!

  29. Cash, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the first apartment but it sounds like it was a learning experience and one that you've shared with others so something good has from it. Now...when you have bathtup enclosed with marble on three sides and only one end open you don't have a bathtub, you have a sarcoghagus.
    21
  30. Same here. Red flag. I hope that one thing isn't indicative of other issues in the apartment.

  31. Maybe I'm too picky but I don't like how the windows or windowpanes are so small. You have a spectacular view but have to look at it through all those metal window frames. It's like looking through a cage. The rest of the apartment and building are wonderful. As a book lover it pleases me to to see places in the building that have so many books.
    18
  32. My choice would be the second apartment. So much of the first apartment just looks out onto the deck and the deck is situated so that lots of people can see you out there. For someone who wants to grow flowers or grow fruits and vegetables to eat or to have both, the first apartment is a winner. I understand about waiting for the cake: here in mini-Manhattan/Bloomington, Indiana, I recently discovered the vegan blueberry muffins at a local food co-op. DEE-lishus!

  33.  @adastra79  There was nothing at all wrong with your first comment which was light-hearted and fun. I understod it and gave it a like. Anyone bothered by that simple, funny comment is WAY too sensitive.

  34. Both apartments are great. I'm not a fan of two-burner stoves but I've noticed I never use more than two anyway. Cash, you probably don't have time to read for enjoyment but I started a spooky novel that might be just right for you and your viewers: "The Graveyard Apartment" by Mariko Koike and translated from the Japanese to English by Deborah Boliver Boehm. A young couple in Tokyo along with their kindergarten-age daughter move into a new apartment building located next to a cemetery and strange things start to happen...

  35. They are a little unsettling. I watched again and it looks like the doors just connect one bedroom with the other. Doors like that remind me of the movie "Rosemary's Baby" in which the closet at the end of a hall had a door in the back that led into the next apartment.--- That first apartment that had the lock that had been tampered with: that told me all I would need to know about renting there: No!
    15
  36. Congratulations on the bike, Cash! Blessings of safe travel to you. It looks like the bike may really make things more efficient and productive for you.

  37. Cash, it's interesting to see your content changing and developing over time. We viewers learn a lot and it's appreciated. You do a genuine service for many, many people. Now it's time for you to do something for yourself: give yourself time for some real rest.

  38. WOO-HOO! The neighborhood has Dunkin' Donuts AND Starbucks: a double-barrelled CASH BASH! Great apartment, great views though the bathrooms have mirrors over the toilets which gives the wrong kind of views if you get my drift. Just looking out the windows of these apartments and seeing the changing light and sky would be free entertainment. The lounge area looks great with all those books; find a book and a chair by the window and a good time is ahead.

  39. I was noticing how a wall had been inserted two-thirds of the way across the bay window. Sad that a room was divided that way. Ditto: I'd love to see how those older buildings looked before they were gutted and subdivided, the original features and fixtures. Even if the buildings were a little worn from years of use they would still have an individuality not seen in the newer or renovated spaces.

  40. Cash gives viewers so much information about how to get the most for their money and how to not be taken advantage of that I'm wondering about merchandise from the owners of New York City rental properties: the Cash Jordan dart board; the Cash Jordan voodoo doll---I mean, pin cushion! And who knows what the Dunkin Donuts execs are planning!

  41. Cash, this may help with your sock drawer: I fold over each pair of socks then put a rubber band around the socks. Another method is to tuck one sock inside another. I'm sort of color blind so I like to get socks with patterns or a logo; helps me see what goes with what.

  42. Good for you, Cash, for not giving into your now- or soon-to-be-former landlord. I think you did the right thing and if you need to relocate again in a year: Well, you done it before and can do it again.

  43. That narrow space (laundry area) ending with a doorway into the next apartment reminds of how in "Rosemary's Baby"" the closet at the end of the hall had a door in the back that led into the next apartment. Something that was unclear to me: is the laundry area a shared space between the two bathrooms of the two apartments? Do the tenant of both apartments use the washer and drier?
    12
  44. Just gave you your 100th thumbs-up!
    12
  45. I'm remembering the video Cash made when he and some other people were locked out on a rooftop. I hope he's propping those doors open when he goes out onto rooftops!
    12
  46.  4Freedom4All  Amen! I'm taking some books to the Little Free Library up the street from me later today!
    12
  47. I've read Paco Underhill's books "Why We Buy" and "The Call of the Mall" and in one of them he talked about how men find a place to sit down while women shop! I've been along on some shopping expeditions and recommend having a book to read while you wait. You can tell that I grew up without computers and smart phones!

  48. Whew! Glad the fall wasn't worse, Cash.---Sounds odd but years ago Smithsonian magazine had an article about staircases which made me aware of what's safe and what isn't. The staircase here may look good to some people but I see a safety hazard. Good thing it has a metal railing. Getting furniture to the second room could be a problem.---Kitchen looks good but is impractical with cabinets far too high. With dishes etc. on the shelf it will look like a garage sale and items there will have to be cleaned periodically. Second bedroom needs cleaning or painting because you can see where the bed had been against the wall. Bathroom drawer makes me wonder what else may have been damaged or worked too hard. Some concerns and drawbacks but still a good place for the right people.

  49. Wonderful apartment and I like how the closet space is used in such an organized, efficient way. ---What a great idea to have a little library in the laundry room. I have a hunch there's a lot of good free reading there. Looks like the buildings'version of the Little Free Library.---Off topic but I think that park area with benches along the walkway by the water was where a scene from "Prizzi's Honor" was filmed, one of the organized crime people meeting with the hit woman Irene (played by Kathleen Turner) to arrange for someone's murder. Note: Whoever moves into the apartment, please don't engage in such activities. Thanks.

  50. I live in Bloomington, Indiana, a univeristy town with the university right in the middle of town. Rents of course are high and my landlord is a shark: not quite six weeks into my lease for my so-so efficiency apartment I got an email from the management company saying that people are interested in living here and that it might be good to renew my lease because if I don't the managment "may" start showing the apartment to someone else who will sign the lease. Not even six weeks into the lease... I understand that the owner wants to have as many people in here for as long as possible but this really going too far. A co-worker of mine who has a background in real estate said this is "...probably legal but highly unethical".
