It's probably like that everywhere, but I may be mistaken. Personally I would never buy a condo for this reason. For most people, their home is their best investment. I don't see a condo as an investment.

Chris,
Here in BC a fucking shed is appreciating a 20% a yr. LOL
A one bed appt downtown is $400k...

Aeon,

Go for it.
Always cool to own your own place.
Also at Mortgage rates these days , your max payment amount of 2k a mth should get you borrowing power of 350k

In Florida condos are a safe investment. Most other areas of the country, i'd put them alongside townhomes in lousy real estate investments, only thing worse being Timeshare.

Look to see how much the association dues are. I found a fabulous condo for $180k, 2 bed 2 bath on the Gulf. A relative steal. However, the $700/mo association dues were the reason why it's a $180k condo. That same condo sold for $225k new. $8400/year is nearly 4 times as much as the annual taxes.

So not all condos are created equal.

Thanx spammer - I appreciate it. I've never done this kinda thing before so I'm cautious and don't want any "hidden" surprises to come popping out.

No worries mate.

Best of luck.

Shame you aren't up here.
I have a mortgage broker and realtor who are both au fait with the internet business and really look after you.

Thanx for the offer. I'm moving closer to my Father. His health is kinda slipping these days and I plan on staying there at least as long as he's around, which is hopefully for a very long fucking time. I wasn't the greatest son so I wanna spend as much time as I can - while I can so canada isn't really an option.

They wouldn't let me in canada anyway. The minute I called someone at the embassy a faggot or nigger - my application would be summarily rejected
