@Wesley Allen in regards to using an FHA loan for a condo, keep in mind that FHA will only lend within anFHA approved condominium project. 

As stated in the title, I’m considering purchasing a turnkey beachfront studio within a condominium as one of my first rentals, and wanted to hear everyone’s opinions on the numbers.

I have seen a few changes with the addition of some luxury condominiums on main street and it seems like they are finally going to attempt to revitalize the shopping center with the bowling alley and movie theater on the east end.

We want to start in Florida either in Tampa or Orlando area with multi family properties and Condominiums.

I'm on her list for daily alerts but they seem to only come about once every few weeks or so .I plan on being more assertive with my searches and put the idea of condominiums on hold for now.

condominiums are for residential living only, and many condo associations limit the number (or percentage of units) of rentals in the association, and the minimum rental time periods. 

Should I consider alternative real estate investments such as land or office condominiums?

Update: If you just happen to be in Birmingham, AL, the condos are Woodside Condominiums on Shadowood Circle in Centerpoint.

In my opinion, the HOA fees and regulations make it very difficult to successfully invest in condominiums.

The problem is, Ottawa is already awash in unsold units.The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. said that the growing number of surplus condos has put Ottawa’s market at moderate risk, causing CMHC to warn builders planning further condominium construction, according to the Ottawa Citizen.Currently, there are more than 589 new condo units on sale in the capital.
