Duplexes seem to be more independent than condominiums which can be bad or good for your property.  

I live in Charlotte NC and my salary from the rat race exceeds the median household income for the area.

We would have to both apply since I believe my income is what will get us the loan (about $75k household income).Prior this, we have great credit and employment history in Canada, but I'm unsure if any of this matters to a US bank.

Moving a whole household twice in one year, just swapping houses back and forth seems ridiculous.

We also have to take into consideration that the amount of deliquent properties in the States is comparable to a large percentage of TOTAL households in Canada.

Had the agents do a police report and secure the household.

Should I buy a condominium?

Households are eligible for assistance if they meet the following guidelines:(CREDIT IS NOT A MAJOR FACTOR)A) Must meet income guidelines - For This Particular Property, you must make $800 per month ($200 per week).B) Must have worked at the same job for at least 1 year, OR within the same field of work within the last 2 years.D) Must be able to contribute at least $500 - $1,000 toward home ownership. ================================================3.

, that don't require you to be a low income household, only that you're purchasing a house in a "low income area" as an owner occupant.

The problem is "total number of condominiums" is not "all condominiums available for rent", but literally all condominiums that exist in the GTA - including those which are owner occupied.That's akin to saying the vacancy rate of Single Family Homes is equal to the number of empty single family homes / all the single family homes in Toronto.With the above alternative definition for condo vacancy, the reported rate of 1.7% is worse than meaningless, it is blatantly misleading.
