I have never bought into the condo market but I am beginning to see the advantages. The worst thing is the condo association dues. Here is a condo I am helping my friend rent out. It is a 2/1.5 in a good part of town for $850 per month. It is paid for so anything he gets is better than the $350 in taxes, insurance and condo dues he is paying each and every month it remains vacant. If you know someone who wants a great condo near St. Francis, let me know.
