77 Bleecker: feedback from current owners?

Hi, Can someone please give feedback on this building: 1)Are there are lot of NYU students in this building?

Hi, Can someone please give feedback on this building: 1)Are there are lot of NYU students in this building? Or is there a good mix of people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s+? 2)In another thread, a poster has said that a)the bldg has too many renters and that b)this might make it hard to get financing from a bank. Please confirm. I'm already pre-approved for a mortgage from Wells F, but just curious what part b) might mean. 4)Most important, other posters have warned that a)the building has no underlying reserves and that b)there's a big (?) underlying mortgage. Are these facts true? 5)In general, should I stay away from any coop that has no reserves? I know that this is a lot, but please help if you can. If you don't have that much time, please just answer questions 4 and 5. Any current owners or anyone who might have gone all the way to due diligence recently--and then backed out because you saw the building's financials. Thank you for your time. [less]
