I think buying sooner rather than later is great, but I'm not sure that doing it for only one or two years is worth the time/money.. You should crunch the numbers and see how it works out for you. Try Queens - there are lots of Co-ops and condos...
to buy a condo/co-op or to rent one out. Just curious bc you said you plan on just living in a condo/co-op for just a year or two. Not sure if you want to buy a place just to sell it a year or two later. If you sell it lets say in a year, you would only have paid off SO little of your mortgage by that time and wont really get money off the apartment. It might be a big hassle to buy an apartment and then sell it just a year or 2 later.
