North Shore Towers is in Queens so maybe the NYC forum is more appropriate for this thread. It is near the Nassau/Queens border but it is in Queens.

How old is your family that lives there?
My aunt is 80, but her building is a mix of older folks and younger families.

When my husband and I bought our house, the bank let us count our retirement plans as assets. I've never heard of the "bank balance = sales price." I question that rule... because seriously, who has that kind of cash just laying around?

The number 1 rule when you start your home search in my opinion is find a great broker. I too never heard that equation. Debt to income sure, but not what you were told. I would find another broker personally.
