Buying condo as my first property
I found my newest property
HOA is 350,the price is short sale
Is there a calculator to check if it's a good deal

@Regina Panga What market are you looking in? In my experience a condo purchase is rarely a good deal. They HOA could change at any moment, rules could force you out as a landlord, the HOA could go bankrupt, appreciation is much slow if at all and they take longer to sell. I hope this helps!
