I currently reside in a higher-end condo in Orlando, Florida, and obtaining a mortgage with a sub 3% interest rate was crucial for making it a feasible investment.Allow me to share a personal anecdote that sheds light on the condo buying experience.

So having a joint account makes sense BUT my team and I will also have separate deals outside of this partnership with this other person.

My most gracious analysis would be this (and this is just me): (1) I think the owner is a very kind man - I’ve talked with him personally.

In other words, the person with the most toys, wins... not the person who paid the least amount of tax.
