Overview

College Graduate Andre Derricotte spent the first few years after graduating from Hofstra University living at home, saving for what he assumed would be an eventual move back to New York city. But after starting his apartment hunt from his respective New Jersey abode - Mr. Derricotte was living at his parents' in Essex County's, Maplewood New Jersey - he decided that, in fact, he would rather be in Jersey. Mr. Derricotte, 25, reached that conclusion one afternoon in the summer of 2016, after touring this eighteenth Newark apartment of the day. It was a three-bedroom walk-up, on a corner Park Street lot, and it was flooded with light. The apartment was both bigger and cheaper- $1275 a month- than another place he had been seriously considering a few hours away in Brooklyn. Having lived in Manhattan during college, Andre had no desire to return. His last Manhattan apartment was a windowless closet in an East Village share for which he paid $1450 a month. Brooklyn was more appealing, but he soon discovered that the apartment that he could afford weren't close to transportation or to neighborhood amenities like stores and restaurants. His location in downtown Newark by contrast is prime. The PATH train station is just a three minute walk away. But how did Andre move from renting limited space to owning enough space to be comfortable? He did this by discovering the missing Borough that is often overlooked, which is The Sixth Borough. The Sixth Borough primarily consisting of Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark and In this book Andre details the history on the existing Five boroughs, he describes the process required to transition from living rent free to renting, the formula needed to become a home owner, and the tools to Refinance.
