One concern would be that, in a sense, you may be somewhat at the mercy of the condo association in some instances, like Account Closed  points out above.Another concern may be that, historically condominiums/townhomes generally see a lower rate of appreciation when compared to stand-alone, single family properties.

I am under contract for a condominium near downtown Austin, TX.

=) I just hope that most condominiums or associations are open to STR properties. 

Hi all ,I’m in Miami Fl , (newbie) currently have three pre-construction condominiums in Dominican Republic for future vacation rentals and I’m looking forward to purchase an investment property in Florida .It will be fantastic to meet up ! 

I am attempting to return to a “House Hack” via RBTR in my owner occupied 2/2.5 condominium in North Austin.

9 newer condominiums purchased for cash at 40% below appraised value.

They did some research before they gave me that direction and advised me to talk to various real estate professionals, which I did.Now I’ve begun that process and the city has discovered that the way to go on this is actually something called a Revocation of Condominium Plan, or Dissolution of Condominium Plan.

I specialize in condominiums in my area and at this point I've looked over so many disclosures and financials, I can tell pretty quickly based on the number of units and cost of cap expenditures about how likely they are to have an assessment in the near future and for what (roof, elevators, etc.) even if it's not on the agenda.

Condominium investments are about location, location and location.
