Lessons learned? Challenges?
It was impossible to sell during the recession. The property also had a fire that burned down an entire building so selling wasn't an option during legal issue debates. Once the market changed, I sold it. It was a condo that did not appreciate as much as my property in Park City but it was rented all but 2 months that I owned it. I learned that I don't want to invest in another condo again.
