They say there are 8 million stories in the Naked City, and we'd guess at least half of them involve real estate. Well, we want 'em, and so do your fellow city-dwellers. Enlighten us about your unusual apartment search (or tactics), real estate successes and failures, or pretty much anything you think other NYC denizens might be curious to hear about. We may feature your story in an upcoming BrickUnderground article. (Oh, and did we mention that we pay for freelance work?) Click here to get in touch. And check out some examples below:

what it's really like to live in a certain neighborhood (like Bed-Stuy)
the prostitution ring next door
your co-op board interview
selling your apartment without a broker
your childhood growing up in a Manhattan co-op
what you learned as a NYC real estate agent or other real estate professional
your successful strategy for finding cheap rent
how you fell for a Craigslist scam
how you smuggled a washing machine into your apartment
your journey as a first-time buyer (or decision to return to life as a renter)
