Let’s begin with the first rule of real estate: location, location, location. There’s an art to knowing if a neighborhood is a great one, and it goes far beyond tree-lined streets.
Let’s assume at some point in the future you stumble upon what appears to be your ideal neighborhood. It’s close to the things that matter to you, and it’s filled with the things you love. Friends who live nearby have even given you good reviews. Fantastic. But you shouldn’t be sold on it just yet.

first time homebuyer: Condo or Single Family Home, What is the Difference? - 08/16/14 06:09 AM

If you're thinking about making a move, are you considering buying a condominium/townhome or a single-family home?
