16 Tips to Ace the Co-op Board Interview
Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 11 in my Series REAL ESTATE INVESTING IN NEW YORK!!

In this Episode, I’m sharing exactly what TO say, and what NOT to say to pass your Co-op Board Interview. Of course you are always going to tell the truth (liars always lose), but just as you would in a job interview, you want to make sure that you are highlighting the most positive things about yourself. It is important to understand what the Board values, so you can address their questions properly!

Topics covered in this Episode: 

☆ Why you must read the House Rules prior to the interview
☆ What to do for small children or pets if they are requested to attend the interview
☆ How early you need to arrive and why
☆ What to wear and how to prep yourself   
☆ How to give off relaxed body language   
☆ Operate under the rule “anything you say can and will be held against you”
☆ Only provide information you are specifically asked about
☆  What to do about politics
☆ How to communicate job security, key questions that are alluding to your job security
☆ How to show that you are a good neighbor 
☆ How and when to discuss renovation plans
☆  What to say if you are asked about joining the Board
☆ How to describe your hobbies & interests
☆  How to explain why you chose this co-op building
☆ How to answer the question, “Do you have any questions?”
☆ How to address anything problematic that came up in your background check
