Answer 1

I need to know before I answer this specifically what makes an apartment a sh*thole to you.  What are your standards?  Be as specific as possible.  I live in the Bronx near the 2 train, not too far frrom Manhattan, and yes, you can find something for that price, but you might have to settle for a nice apartment in a not-so-nice area.

Tell me what you do and don't want in a neighborhood and I'll try to help you out.  One thing I'm finding is that increasingly, landlords and property managers seem to be moving away from advertising apartments in newspapers unless they are really high-end places.  I like the website nofeerentalbyowner.com but to actually get the contact info and precise address, you have to pay $45 (if I remember correctly.  If I'm wrong, it's less, not more.).  Also, I'm not sure why or how you chose the Bronx near the 2 train (I'm sure you have reasons), because that's a really specific requirement, but there are places you might be able to afford in Manhattan uptown near the 1 or the 2 (in an area called Washington Heights).  Another thing to do is find the neighborhood you actually want and just walk around looking for "for rent" signs or get the number for the management company off the building plaque.

Answer 2
