What Makes It A Condominium?
A condominium is basically a unit in a duplex, a townhouse, or an apartment, but with special ownership rights.
How does a condominium differ from other multi-unit buildings?
Condominiums are a bit of a special breed when it comes to the multi-unit family. Condos look exactly like an apartment or townhouse, meaning they are part of a larger unit, but you can buy them just like a house. You own and can change, everything between the walls of your unit making you the landlord. As long as it doesn’t interfere with your neighbors, and it is safe, you are free to do it. You will have to pay for things like repairs and such, however, just something to remember.
Pros and cons of living in a condominium.
The control that we mentioned earlier is the biggest pro for people who live there. However, there are quite a few people that also love the fact that they don’t have to worry about taking care of a yard or the outdoor maintenance of the building.
