All,

Buying a Condo appreciates in value? Is it to sell or rent it out? Or would a townhome be easier?

I am looking at midtown area.

Best, Leo

Whether a condo or townhome will appreciate depends on various factors, including the location, property condition, and the overall real estate market. Real estate can generally appreciate in value over time, but it is not guaranteed, and there are no certainties when it comes to real estate investments. As for whether it is better to sell or rent out a property, that will depend on your personal goals and circumstances, if you want to generate income, renting out the property might be a good option. However, if you are looking to sell the property in the future, you will need to consider factors such as the demand for rentals in the area and the potential return on investment. Ultimately, deciding whether to buy a condo or a townhome, and whether to sell or rent it out, will depend on your circumstances and goals. It is always a good idea to research and consider all your options before making a decision.

Usually condos don't appreciate in price a lot. It's a good investment opportunity as well as a townhome if properties are in desirable location. But remember that condominiums have much hinger HOA fees, especially high-rises. So make sure that numbers on your investment are very conservative, in case the property will be vacant while you are looking for a tenant - you still have to pay those HOA.
Feel free to contact me and I'll share my opinion and experience on investment properties and most desired locations.

Condo typically appreciate less than single family houses and the cash flow can be hurt by high maintenance fees.
The main advantage of condos is their price point, they are the most affordable investment opportunity.

The resale values on condos and fee simple townhomes both follow the local real estate market, but condos seem to be much more variable in price. Fee simple townhomes have much lower HOA dues than condos and generally have better resale values.
