Reply #40: Condos are great but find out what's your responsibility to repair

[lizerdbits]

You do have the condo fee but it's worth it for me to not worry about lawns, etc. One piece of advice for condos is see what is your responsibility to repair before buying. I just had all my pipes replaced (polybutylene) and while I knew when buying they were my financial responsibility it's been a royal pain in the ass not to mention expensive. Mine is TH style but I think it's probably a little trickier with apartment style to determine which unit is responsible for what pipes so the building owner might just have it be their responsibility. Something to check into before signing anything.
