"They had one thing in common,"

"They were good in bed" The Eagles

I am as guilty as everyone else but there are times when we become consumed with numbers like price per sq. ft. There are many more important factors to consider when buying a property like neighborhood, condition of the property, association, location and most importantly is when you ask if this is the property for you. When buying a condo the health of the association is more important than ever before, if you think you have gotten a deal on a condo only to find out the following year that you are being assessed $30,000 for balcony replacements then the deal is not so great. My wife is helping a friend who is like another son to us and he was very nervous about a purchase. Ada asked; will you feel good every day when you come home and will you feel comfortable writing that check once a month, his answer was yes so he went forward with the deal. Ask yourself these questions even before considering making an offer.
