With all due respect-- and appreciation-- to the kind folks that responded to my "New Widow" thread, I still want to learn more about one of my dreams: buying a condo for when I downsize out of this 3,000 sq. ft. house.
I searched for the topic in a couple ways in the forums, but couldn't find the right threads. I'll bet it's been talked about a lot here; so, if someone knows which thread that would be, could you please let me know? I need to know what good questions to ask, especially about how the HOA's are run.
Are there books anyone would recommend?
I'm adept at buying a single-family home (have bought FSBO's and sold my own house as a FSBO); but I've heard condos can bring their own set of nightmares. (As with one acquaintance who could not sell hers for years, until she paid off a multi-thousand dollar assessment.)
Once again, thanks to all who know about this. I appreciate everyone's wisdom and experience!
