Gil Ganz investing in condos vs single family - repairs cost
13 October 2018 | 15 replies
heynot sure if this is the right subforum, excuse me if it's the wrong one.i'm thinking about investing in a rental property, long term rentals. i'm having troubles deciding what is the best option, a condo or a single family house. a few relevant details - i will be buying the property 100%- i will hire a property management company. worth mentioning also that i am not living in the us.- just to give a sense of what kind of property i'm talking about, let's say the current plan is a 100k property in orlando fl. from what i understand, to pros of owning a condo is that most of the outside repairs are being taken care by the hoa, which means less troubles, downside is of course it will cost me 200-300$ a month (rough estimate, looking at the properties i checked so far) and from what i understand condos appreciation tend to go up less in time.so my questions boils down to the difference in repairs cost:- usually the rule i hear about allocating money to repairs is 1% of the house values. is that value the same for both condos and single family?

12 October 2018 | 2 replies
I’m interested in having more than one door and I have been dancing around the idea of buying duplexes or quads, but I think boarding houses seem genius because it’s a single family so the loan would be easier to get and it not a large area to maintain.
