BUYING YOUR FIRST CONDO? READ THIS BEFORE YOU TOUR

Condos can be a great option for first-time buyers — but they come with a few surprises if you’re not prepared.

Before you fall in love with that open-concept kitchen and downtown view, here’s what you really need to know:

– Monthly HOA fees can add hundreds to your payment (and they can increase over time)
– Some associations have strict rules on pets, rentals, and even renovations
– Reserve funds and maintenance history matter — you don’t want to get stuck with a building that needs a new roof and no money to pay for it
– Parking? Laundry? Storage? Not all condos offer what you’d expect

Buying your first home is exciting — but don’t skip the questions that could save you serious money and stress down the line.
