condominium information: Condominium Maintenance | Did You Know?
- 12/26/15 06:03 AM
Let's face it. Be it your car, or even your laptop, we often forget that things need maintenance. Right? An oil change, a disk cleanup. I find that many people that live a condominium life-style, take maintenance issues for granted. If you've owned a single family home, but then moved to a condo, you sometimes think, "Wow, no more lawn to mow, no more AC system to service, etc." And there is also a HUGE mistaken idea that because you pay this monthly HOA fee, that some "things are just taken care of with that."

condominium information: You Can BUY It, You Just Can't RENT It!
- 05/04/12 01:09 PM
The smart real estate investor knows that this is a good time to be buying and investing in real estate. Prices are down, as are interest rates, or even some good real estate buys can be had with c-a-s-h! But when you buy a condominium versus a single family home, there is one very important detail to remember…..a Leasing Permit! ALL Atlanta condominium communities have rental caps, usually around 20-25% of the total number of homes in the building. That means that in a building with 392 homes, no more than 98 homes may actually be leased out. You Can BUY (4 comments)
condominium information: Is Your HOA Involved in a Law Suit? How Will It Effect Your Sale?
- 03/27/11 04:01 AM
Condominium living offers lots of advantages. There once was a time when condos were pretty much only found in urban areas like Midtown Atlanta (or your particular city). But as the building race took off, townhome communities built far from any city center were also built with condominium ownership. But it pays you, as an owner, AND as a potential buyer to know what's going on in your community (or building however you wish to describe it.) I read an article in the New York Times this morning about a condo owner that had a contract on her unit, only to (3 comments)

When you are looking to buy anything, you always look at the pros and cons of your purchase. Whether it's a new shirt (which color, etc) or a new car, you should look at both sides of the purchase.
