.- 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?
