There should also be a pool, clubhouse, a fancy front entrance etc.I'm ok with paying $180 a month for all of that.For my houses, i pay from $40 a month in a golf course community to $200 a month in a really nice plain subdivision and all i get for those is fancy front entrance, community pool and clubhouse.And every 7 years i get to pay $4500 for exterior maintenance and every 18-20a new roof $5000 (i'm a buy n hold investor). and yardwork here if i want to include it in the rent = $180 a month for 9 mos of the year.So i used to never buy condos, but as RE increase in price here... the condo price points and full coverage HOAs are looking pretty good to me. ( yes i know about the infrequent added project collections-- but those too are usually spread out payments over at least a year).
