I Found a Secret Apartment… Behind an Illegal Warehouse 

I love how Cash is just as appreciative of a $1,750 apartment as he is of a $1.75 million one. Every one has it plusses and minuses and he's totally fair about all of it. He's no snob, you've got to applaud him for that. And it's a pretty great apartment for the price.

These are the kind of people I could be friends with. You can tell that apartment is full of love.

I like that you showed a apartment and how it looks like when people actually live in it. It’s fascinating to see.

Now I know why she complained that it's sometimes noisy. It's the 20 to 30 people a day in that tiny apartment.

I know that block! During covid it was so quiet. Had no clue there was a business in the house. Super small place but they absolutely maximized every inch of space. Those plants are gorgeous! & definitely cheap compared to prices in actual stores. & the dog, can we talk about how well behaved he is if there's so many people going in & out?

Love this guys hustle. He is living the dream!!! I can tell those plants are well cared for. I didn't see a dead leaf on any of them. They looked so healthy. Congrats on living the life.

Gosh, that's so quirky. Very cosy and well organised. Such nice guys and so many beautiful plants. Thanks for something completely different Cash.

These are my favorite types of businesses to support. It's nice to see someone thriving in their space, making their corner of the world work for them. Next time I need to buy a gift, I know who I'm ordering it from! 🌿🌱...Good on Cash for highlighting such a cool business!

This might be the best apartment you have ever shown. And I love the tiny apartments. Thank you Cash for showing us this and please thank them for allowing us in their home.

Nice to see Eric, your former office manager, again. Happy that he and his partner have a great business.

While not my ideal size apartment, this guy was really creative with what he did with it. Hats off for really doing a good job with the space they had.

I really liked this episode. I hope their business thrives. 👍

What a way to begin the week! Really liked the apartment, the dude is an incredible entrepreneur, his plants are marvelous and Uber cheap. Thanks, Cash

Nice to see an apartment in Queens again, feels like it's been ages! (Please show more, lol.) Very creative of Eric with how they've been maximizing their space for both living and their plant business (which it's nice to see is doing well), and sounds like it was a good deal for $1750, with a great kitchen (save for the vent's location) and bathroom too. Astoria/LIC is definitely a nice part of the city to be in, I'm a sucker for the "small town vibe in the big city" there, and the commute into Manhattan being so easy is definitely a plus.

Hmm... a bit cluttered for me BUT it really works for them! I like the idea of the thriving plant business in the apartment. Where there is the will, there will be the way! I'll support them! You really can't complain about $1800/month with all utilities included--at least the water, in the rent. Also, that's a larger kitchen than many of the places that we've seen previously. My only concern would be the distance and ease to reach Manhattan proper. Excellent job, gentlemen!

They make good use of the limited space to fit in living and working. It's not glamorous but it's functional. BTW, those are some healthy-looking plants!

Gosh, this apartment is awesome! Love all the plants sooooo much . Would love to do that!

This apartment got a lot of character. Also these plans look amazing!

Two things: the doggie and the plants! Thanks Cash!

When I lived in an apartment in Seattle I had 50 house plants . I never thought of making a business out of it . good idea. I worked at a grocery store at the time and bought plants for cheap that looked about half dead and nursed then back to health .

The dog's name, Catalaya, is the same as one of my employees' baby, who is being delivered this week. So cool, and a beautiful name. This may be Cash's best video.

Now this was very different and very educational!! Bravo

I admire this couple for keeping their home so neat and organized, and the plants give it color, and life. I wish there were a plant shop like theirs in my city. I once had a sting of pearls plant. It was so cool.

I loved those plants He definitely has a green thumb. So many varieties of plants too. Great way to hustle in New York. Just stay home and sell and grow plants. And I love that he has space for dog too. I f I lived in New York I would have to come back home and buy my pink lady here. Much cheaper here. See ya

This was fun! Thanks for the neat travelogue of your friend’s situation.

Awesome job jordansee you tomorrow morning

Cash, loved the opening audio- way cool- loved your content- that was a rare treat to go into someone’s home in NY with such beautiful plants and great people. Please tell them how much we appreciate their reality. Keep going- 👏👏👏👏

The 'Pink Princess' pothos is a rare chimera which means genetically it is TWO plants in one hence the unusual variegation. Thornless raspberries and blackberries are chimeras where the outside of the stalks are the thornless part of the plant. There are human chimeras and they are rare. It explains occurrences of people who have mixed genetics originally from two individuals early in the pregnancy such as nonidentical twins exchanging or depositing cells or from one individual early in the pregnancy having a mutation or gaining/losing a chromosome. There are people who go through life and never find this out. We all start out as female and then if you have a Y chromosome it asserts itself - usually.

This is what I love! See how people live in those tiny apartments!

That was one awesome wedding cake👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

I've been watching Cash for months! Finally subscribed like -Wait...why am I not subscribed here? doi! He has such fun knowledge and is in 'the know' and I really enjoy his quests. I live in northeast NJ 6-8mi west. So close! But the rent in NY is insane! Things are jumping here in NJ but I can't afford NYC! THANKS CASH! You have the hustle and bustle to show us all with so much enthusiasm! 😊🏘🏘👍

Beautiful! Thanks for showing off Queens. I actually am looking to move into this area or Sunnyside. The plants are beautiful and I don’t usually want plants but his plants are so beautiful and healthy I’d really like a few after I’m in my new place.

OMG, that very apartment used to be on AirBnB and I stayed there in 2015. I loved that area. Very low-key and unassuming and 10 minutes on the train to the heart of Manhatten! And I see the outside is just as bad as I remember it with all the paint peeling. 🤣

So cool of Eric to let us see his place. It was really cool.

What a great use of the space! I love the plant business. That’s so creative.

Love this apt! Very New York! Love the plants, they are so healthy and very competitive prices! He didn't say where he gets the plants? Curious. It is a very organized place, clean and still has a dog and fish 🐠 to give that homey feel! Neat video! ❤️

Thank yoy to these nice people for letting us inside their home/ business 😊

Just one question: Where is the potting bench? Where and how do they repot their plants? How do you deal with all the mess?

That was fun well done, Cash 👌

This is Gonna b so Insightful CJ🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Monday😀….

That pink princess is only $60? That is a great price! If I lived in NYC, I'd probably be at their apartment several times per month.

For the love of old buildings and plants 🙌💜💜💜

I like that one too. It must be an exercise in frustration finding a place with quirks and character. Very cool!

this more interesting than empty apts, it gives perspective, not fancy but enough for what you need, two guys and a dog and plants arre happy

Nice but the outside could use a paint job❤

I love this style of videography. I’ve been wanting to see what a lived in apt looks like & a back story that goes with it.

LOVE this place!!!

This is a super cute apartment. Well furnished and I love the plants. What a dream job! (& best price I've heard on a Pink Princess Philodendron!)

I am so late to the party here in this great apartment! That six-foot four plant is such a great deal! I live here in Central Florida in unincorporated Lakeland, Polk County for over thirty-two years, and the price for that same tropical plant you pointed out is over two hundred dollars for a smaller size, so I know that even without checking the size you have is over three hundred to three hundred and fifty dollars. It's funny coz one would think that that tropical plant would not really survive New York winter temps, even with running the heat, of which I have never turned on our central heat in the eleven years we have lived in our house that we rent, coz we get so few really cold days. If we do get cold, we turn the air off and turn on the oven in the kitchen to 200 and leave the oven door open halfway and it heats the whole house within a couple of hours, and then we decrease the temp to 100 degrees which is the bread warmer temp. We don't leave it on over five to six hours and never at night. We have not had to do this more than three times in the eleven years we have been here so that is excellent in our opinion. Our house is a cinder block three-bedroom, one bath with a screen room off the kitchen, carport and our front yard and the fenced in back yard that has a twenty-four foot drop off into the canal is a nice size, not big but not small...just right and yes if you are wondering the canal does have three maybe four alligators and bull frogs galore so when it's mating season, back to back for these creatures it is very noisy at night and early morning hours with them doing their mating calls. Besides the canal there is about six to seven lakes, within two miles from our house. We are zoned for farm animals, so on our street there are chickens, roosters, a donkey and three goats, but even so our street is quiet most of the time. I was shocked when you said the rent for the apartment was $1,700. our rental home is $1,195. a month, and we do pay for electric and water, of which our air is on auto, set for seventy degrees all year long, when it does get cold the air does not come on, and our bill is never over $ 159.00 in the winter months, and never over $185.00 in the summer. This is because it is well insulated, and Lakeland Electric is owned by the city, can never be sold out from under Lakeland, and it is also the cheapest electric and water in all of Florida. Lots of cities in Florida charge for electric, and then the water is separate, and you pay thru the nose for it and from what I have been told the water bill is higher than the electric cost. Bartow where my oldest daughter lives do this, the saving grace is that they have well water, yes and it stinks coz it's Sulphur well water, because they live in a rural area, the water soften filtration system does not take the smell out of the water, and yes, it is safe to drink the water even thou it smells like rotten eggs. All in all, not having to pay for city water is a god send, except when hurricanes knock out the plastic pipes above ground that carries the water to the house like the last one, we had that was a Cat 3 when it roared thru Polk County. Not sure why they didn't put up housing over the plastic pipes, before, but they now have a sturdy housing to keep the pipes from being snatched out the ground, forcing them to go without running water in the house for a good little minute until the pipes were fixed...I think it was maybe two three days at the most that they had to buy bottled water to drink, bath and cook with. They went one day without power, and we went almost five days without power coz we live in unincorporated Lakeland. I keep all my tropical plants in the screen room. My Paddle Plant when I bought it was just one plant, now it has turned into five plants, with a couple of baby plants I noticed this morning when I watered. I will be giving my granddaughter both the baby Paddle Plants, as the other one I gave her died, from not enough water! When I gave her the other one that died, I said water it when the soil an inch down is dry, don't over water. She told me at the beginning of this month when we were at Home Depo that it had died. I asked her did she water it, she said yep, but it died. I looked at her and said did you stick your finger down about an inch and see if the soil was dry? She said yep but it died MieMei. How often did you water it, Lilly? Once a month.... I rolled my eyes and said that's why it died! Outside it is usually eighty to eighty-seven degrees during the day, and low sixties at night in the winter months so you need to water plants just slightly less often than in the summer when temps hit ninety to one hundred and five during the day and high eighties at night. We get only maybe four days to one week when it is cold well to us it is......The temps on cold days are anywhere from fourty- seven to fifty-five, day and night fourty to maybe thirty degrees. I have seen it get in the low twenties a couple of times in the last thirty-two years. Usually, the cold days are not all in a row, just a cold day and then two weeks of eighty degrees, then back to having a couple of cold days followed by several weeks of eighties again. Now last year we did get a solid week of cold days. I do have to laugh though, I will be watching Bay News 9 out of Tampa and the weather guy will say we are going to have a cold front roll in overnight, expect low sixties in the morning, and by nine AM seventies and topping out at seventy-nine to eighty degrees. Of course on the really cold days we get told that we are expecting freezing weather cover your outdoor plants...Temps are forties during the day and thirties to maybe high twenties, and yes, I do cover my plants. I love the apartment, it would be just right for me and my husband, since all our four children are married and have their own rented homes, well one lives in a triple wide mobile home. Thank you for your great video's I love them!

Loved this quirky apartment. Slice of life NYC.

I loved everything about this video! A perfect mix of apartments and cash just hanging out with cool plant dudes💕

These guys have got it going on...amazing!

I have lots of plants too so I love all their plants, thanks Cash.

This is the worst “ front of building” I have ever seen, it looks like a real dump.

Good place to work from home. I loved the plants!

They're plant guys and I love them 🧡🌿

I can’t conceive of people wearing their outdoor shoes in anyone’s home. If you want to do it at your house but never in mine.

I actually like the neighborhood. The apartments a little small for two people but it's not bad either. I like places with character. And the rent is great.

G'mornin 'Cash, apparently some folks do want to live in Queens. I stand corrected. That plants business was awesome. Were some of them 'illegal' ?? That would explain the mobs of people patronizing that apartment and the noise they made while being shoeless. The dog and the quirky chandelier said it all. I want to go there for a string of pearls I never knew existed except in a swing band's repertoire. Sayonara!!

Hi Cash and your friend this is a beautiful illegal apt in NYC. I need to take another trip to Japan. I sure like to tour NYC, when things get better. Couldn’t travel since the awful pandemic. Stay well and safe You have a lovely family 😺🐶👍

The one thing I have to point out is that too much humidity in a not properly vented environment will likely cause mold issues in the future. That being said, they are living the American dream and hats off to them for making it work!

So glad you went to LIC. Lived there for many years and loved it!

Thanks! So far my favorite.

Thanks 😊 That was a really fun video! 🥳🌷👍😁

So it was genius for them to have you do this video. They either so their place or plants or both! Genius.

Another secret apartment lol

7:57 The refrigerator doors swing the wrong way, but you only say that when no one is living in the space!

Maybe start uploading "Secret illegal video of secret illegal apartments"?

I think Cash needed a good cup of coffee this morning. Really cool apartment.

Most interesting video Cash.😊

Not pretty, but it's theirs, and if they like it, that's all that counts. And working from home doesn't get any better than this.

The thing about Dunkin it varies from location to location, the nicer the neighborhood the better the cup of coffee, and it never fails the bad locations always made bad coffee.

Plant daddies 🪴

My favorite video so far 😊🪴

Coolest video you've done so far. Did you buy a plant?

I had one of those Pink Princess plants...very persnickety....hates sun...it turned brown on the way home from the store b/c it got too much sun sitting in the back of the truck for 15 minutes...it cost 12 bucks pre inflation price....about that size....I bought mine at Lowes...

i like this plant business ✌️😊

this is such a great space and rent with utilities. why do they want to vacate? Looks perfect to me.

Ok, Cash….how much did you get him down on the Pink Princess? Know you HAD to get it in honor of your princesses 💕 Genius, moves Eric, genuis!!

Very cool and warm place at the same time. No doubt the foliage makes it so. Problem is once all that goes and all you have are bare walls then it wouldn't look as appetizing. Not everybody is as Swift at decorating like this guy. But, the Price is Right

The girl in the window was definitely the star of the video😂😂😂

It was worth to go through all that clickbait for this one honest video...

i love it.

Happy Monday Cash ❤

That one hotel looked like Hellraisers house.

The rent is what you'd find in NJ for a 1bedroom. Excluding utilities.

Nice 🥰

This was an interesting one. A vid showing a lived in NYC apartment. Lol, he said small town vibe when my eyes saw the exact opposite. Then he pointed at a building that could have been from my city, calling it small and you don't see that anywhere else in NYC...really? I mean, there's a lot of the city that isn't in or near Manhattan, but I guess all the buildings are attached there, so this one stood out 🤷‍♀️

He's a great plant Daddy!

+100 for giving Runo plants a plug. I bet they run out real soon.

love the apartment ❤❤❤Wonder about the soda can thrown into the garage though? Does NY have recycling?

Moving day with that many plants is going to be fun to say the least unless a plant sale?

Cash is the worst person in NYC when it comes to keeping a secret!! 😂🤣

Buying plants during COVID 🤔 maybe they were using them in the place of toilet tissue, can't find tissue but you can definitely find plants 😅😅Enjoy your week everyone 😊❤

Everyone seemed to enjoy this episode but me. I felt like I was snooping in a person's private life. A cluttered apartment, lived in apartment. Been there, done that, lol!

7:54 you have taste

Should it not be a secret business ,inside a secret apartment ,behind an illegal warehouse?🤔🙂

Are they renting another apartment or moving? Why are we seeing this? Maybe a plug for the plant store?

You call it the Hothouse Apartment

What’s the matter, Cash, never watched Colombiana 😂 “Cataleya”
