Addressing Common Misconceptions About Coops in DC
Coop fees are high
You have to examine the coop fees in detail because coop fees cover much more than condo fees do. For example, the coop fee will include the tax on a particular unit and typically all the utilities and master insurance. It will also cover payments on the underlying mortgage if there is one. Therefore, you have to ask for a breakdown of the coop fee. What parts of the fee go to property taxes and the underlying mortgage, which are both deductions on your income taxes. How much of the coop fee … (11 comments)
