Is buying a condo better than renting?

[Paul Henning]

If a SFH or MFH is outside my borrowing limit in the area we just moved to (Denver) to make more money, is it better to buy a condo that I can afford OR just rent until the money comes in for the house?

I learned that condos are to be avoided, but can I make an exception?

All FHA or vet loans right now, we will live in any property for at least the year.

Cheers!
