@diana_talks_realestate: As a real estate agent, here’s why I personally would think twice before buying a condo. 🏢 Insurance has become a HUGE issue for some condo communities. If the building or HOA doesn’t meet certain insurance, financial, structural, or reserve requirements, financing through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac can become difficult—or the project may be ineligible altogether. Then add: 💰 Rising HOA dues 🚨 Special assessments that can cost thousands 🏠 Rental restrictions that limit what you can do with your property 📉 Financing issues that can shrink your future buyer pool 🛡️ Increasing insurance costs and coverage problems Condos can absolutely make sense for some buyers—but before buying one, you need to investigate the HOA just as carefully as you investigate the unit itself.
