Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Co-op,Condo, or Townhouse

This book is a Bible and a must for people in the area seeking to buy a home or house or condo

One of the most important things to know about when buying a condo is the HOA monthly fee (homeowner's association). There is not ONE mention of these fees in this book. Other than that, the book has a lot of useful info, but I think the author was remiss in not covering HOA fees, which really should have it's own chapter.

Excellent

The author has moved around enough to have a balanced view of different real estate markets. He grew up in Rego Park (a part of New York City), lived in Europe and currently practices in Florida. He might have lived other places too - it wasn't memorable because he noted when something was regional rather than just stating it as fact.The book had a lot of information including some things I never thought about and is well worth the read.

This is a step by step, how to book .
