Top 10 Things to Know Before Buying a Condo or Townhouse!

How about condo ready update, and i don't have to fix anymore?

Very valuable content. Thank you!

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $160K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions...

I actually prefer communities with rental restrictions. Not everyone wants to live in a place with a lot of renters. Sometimes renters unfortunately can lower quality of life in a neighborhood because they tend to not have the same level of pride in maintaining things and consideration for neighbors that a homeowner would (not all), and there can be frequent transition in who lives there. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Just my experience. I lived in a neighborhood with lots of renters, and at times it was horrible. The fewer of them IMO the better.

Find out which maintenance items have been ignored or deferred…….. there is no if !!!

Most important is location, location, location!! A location may look nice in the beginning, with nice high-rise buildings as your neighbors. But, they can easily turn into homeless camps & dangerous areas later on. I would avoid downtown areas & major freeways, especially in large cities. It's best to pick an area in the suburbs around expensive homes surrounding your complex with few businesses, especially bars or nightlife activities where people seem to hang out.

My condo said “no pets” but my realtor told me to register my dog and cats as emotional support, and I was able to have them because of that 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bro, you need to get your testosterone levels checked. Yesterday.

Stay away from townhomes if you hate noises. People are inconsiderate nowadays. Dont recommend!

Great info.. thanks a lot

Excellent video you did well with covering things that usually aren’t addressed

Great information and a great video.
"I enjoy fast and furious" as you say.

If I buy a condo I should be able to rent it out

Never ever buy a property with an HOA.

Thank you

I made $78k after just one week….

I'm really afraid of buying a condo now...so much helpful information but scary!

The benefit of condos used to be that they were cheap. That is not even the case anymore. Might as well get an apartment.

Which one has lower hoa fees townhomes or condos?

Is it easier to get approved for a loan on a townhome or condo, since there normally cheaper than single family homes?

Which one is a better investment for a rental property?

i found a townhouse with no HOA fee, does that mean it is not part of an hoa and has no rules?

Wonder if you could make a deal Ns pay less on HOA if you agree to never use the pool?

I have basement and I live in a brand new townhouse and I can't hear them talking but I hear a echo with then running up and down stairs

Thank you. Super helpful.
Will you discuss TIC and Co Op? What docs we must read before we place an offer?

Could you sell a townhouse, for the exact or a bit more after a few years? I plan on living in a new home hopefully soon, but are considering relocation after.

Wow, very informative. Thank you!

This is the info I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Not all heroes wear capes...some explain the risks of owning a condo. XD
Thank you sir!!!

Very helpful information. Thank you!

Great info! But I don't think you need a halo light if you're outside. The light was good enough kinda distracting.

Good Job 👏🏽

Very helpful video, and very clearly explained. Thank you!

Very helpful!

Also take a shot every time he says we need to understand something

Great info

Oh My God, I learned so much from this video!!! I heard things that I never knew and never ever thought of!! Thanks a million!

Thank you for providing an in depth video with an excellent break down. I understand that any home will require maintenance but at least I can do it on my on terms! I also prefer the idea of owning the land as well. Thank for bringing this information to the light.

Is it good for first time buyer

How to get into the community newspaper before purchasing it?

I’m single and travel a lot for work, so I didn’t want a home that would sit empty a lot as a target for thieves. I got a condo in a nice building and I don’t regret it. There’s lobby staff and 24/7 security. No one is coming to my door unless they belong in the building. When I leave for a trip, I don’t have to worry about getting someone trustworthy to watch my empty house. Just lock the front door and leave.

Sure, you get more space in a single family home, but I don’t have to mow a lawn/shovel snow, I have a fully stocked gym/pool a few floors down, a reserved parking spot for me and one for a guest, home security, and it’s quiet. I don’t hear road noise, my unit is soundproofed so I have never heard my neighbors, and I’m high enough up that I don’t hear road noise. If I need to go outside and see some grass, I can take the elevator and be outside in a minute. Got a nice view of the city, and when it rains/snows, it’s awesome to watch.

There’s trade offs no matter what you decide, but if you don’t have kids, don’t need a lot of backyard space, or travel a lot for work or fun, you’ll probably have a better time in a condo than a house.

This guy is so lovely to look at. What more does anyone need in life than that right there?

Great information and well said 👏

Would you recommend a townhome for a first purchase? I was looking in the Buckhead area of Atlanta yo give you an idea of the type of home I’m aiming for

condo buying is tough. I would love to buy a condo in orlando, kissimmee, or melbourne...but with the hoa or condo association fee and the taxes, and the homeowner insurance, and sometimes a "special assessment fee"....its just tough...any condos in orlando without any fees or homeowner insurance or taxes required?

what if the bank doesnt want to loan due to their criteria? you are photo genic concious, btw.

Its the little things you brought up. Kudos for the info. Thanks so helpful
