I publish a lot of HoltonWiseTV content on TikTok and all, but TikTok's monetization is far inferior to YouTube's.

What are the main reasons condos are considered vastly inferior?

The problem is you can't afford to properly make repairs when you are dealing with the lower tier properties and go with the cheapest bids doing nothing but putting duct tape on issues that will become recurring or believing you are making the repairs correctly but use inferior labor and materials because its all the property can absorb cost wise.  

Except in very specific markets, condos are a vastly inferior investment to a stand-alone dwelling.

Is one superior, or inferior?

From Day 1, their product was inferior, rushed, and not a good investment.

It's likely you will have to redo most of their work when you get it checked as you don't want an inferior product out there if you are selling or renting it.

I do like real estate, I have a great eye for design, but would hate to have to evict someone—that would be my worst nightmare, so I’m not sure I’m cut out for being a landlord (although I would fully anticipate having a property manager)Is option #3 a far inferior option compared to keeping our expensive house in expensive city as a rental and only having to deal with one property that gives us great appreciation in 10 years ?

That is why value creation and upward increase of rents is important.This is why I do not like Dollar Generals. 15 year flat rent and an inferior building in junk locations.

In the future if you're representing yourself in the sale; meet the appraiser at the property and give him the comps you came up with to justify the price. highlight any inferiorities to your property on the comps so they can see.If you're working with an agent and they're not doing this: drop them immediately.
