As part of the Audubon Society's annual Christmas Bird Count, Palacios regularly reports more bird species than anywhere else in the United States.Apparently i can pull census data for the town and get rental vacancy rate to help average http://factfinder.census.gov/ HOUSING OCCUPANCY # % Total housing units 1,976 100 Occupied housing units 1,661 84.1 Vacant housing units 315 15.9 For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use 64 3.2 Homeowner vacancy rate (percent) 2.5 (X) Rental vacancy rate (percent) 6.6 (X) HOUSING TENURE Occupied housing units 1,661 100 Owner-occupied housing units 1,149 69.2 Renter-occupied housing units 512 30.8 Average household size of owner-occupied unit 3.1 (X) Average household size of renter-occupied unit 3.04 (X)You have given me some good things to think about, but i can't identify how they factor into the situation.

Hello,I have a rental condominium in Sarasota and I am considering selling it and buy with the proceeds new construction brand new home that will be ready in November 2018.

I also personally prefer to stay completely away from condominiums as they are never truly free and clear due to special assessments that are always lurking on the horizon.

Our household income is ~$120k and we would put 20% down on the new property.

My opinion is that Radon (above 4.0) is significant risk if people in the household smoke.I live in Brecksville, where high Radon levels are common, I know of no requirement to test for Radon in Ohio.

The 4k savings I mentioned before isn't our complete savings because I have designated the other income to property emergencies also our household emergency fund of 1k.

10% unemployment, compared to 5% ; crime is way higher than the average,  Almost 50% of households make under $30K.; school ratings are between a 3-5 out of 10. 

I advised that the condominium corporation had strict height and weight limits for dogs.

I grew in a household with SFR rentals (and a duplex) that self-managed.
