I've owned a condo. Don't think I'll ever own one again, even though I did profit on the sale. Too many risks...
My Sister lived in one for several years, I think every year the power mads made it more and more uncomfortable for her, ,mostly with nitpicky bs, but also of course, the annual HOA Fee increases.

Yep. HOA's, or Strata's as they're called in this Province, jacked my fees up every year also, with no end in sight. They too starting getting clownish by issuing warning letters to residents for every stupid little 'infraction'. It got worse as time went on.

Now I can do what I want on my own property.

Build your own house and pay for the upkeep or buy a cono and pay for the upkeep. No difference, really.

With condos it is important to keep the management company in-check. They tend to use the same service providers for all their properties sometimes and I think kickbacks and other under-the-table stuff can happen. Making sure they spend the condo corporation money wisely with a good condo Board is important.

But there are definitely advantages too.

One of them is if you planning on being away for extended periods of time, it is nice to have the maintenance covered; nice to have neighbours keeping an eye on your unit, controlled entrances, etc..

It is not just condos but any place that has an HOA.
