Investing in condos

[Matthew Blue]

Hello!

I just moved back to where I'm from and thinking about investing in a condo. I'm early in the process and starting to research to see if it's really worth it. The prices for condos in the areas I'm researching are just a lot more reasonable and what I can afford to invest in. I understand that some HOA's don't allow investors to buy. My thought is that investing in a condo would be less risky as far as maintenance and the return seems to be higher than buying a house as an investment. Seeing if it make sense to invest in condos?
