About this listen
Condo Buying Mistakes: 46 Costly Mistakes Condominium Buyers Make...And How to Steer Clear of Them teaches homebuyers about the risks, pitfalls, and mistakes that buyers make when purchasing a condominium.
From this audiobook you will learn:
- The most important items to look for in the condominium document disclosures
- What causes buyers to walk out of a condo within 10 seconds of viewing the unit
- How to properly value comparable condo sales (and why you've probably been doing it wrong)
- Why the common grounds of a condominium are just as important as the unit itself
- Why doing a few unconventional things when you view a condo in-person can help save a big headache down the road
- The biggest mistake to avoid when purchasing a large condo unit that had been combined by the joining of two adjacent units
- How the amenity package will factor into your decision (even if you do not care about amenities)
- Why capping the maximum monthly condo fees in your search may end up hurting your search
- And so much more
Who is this audiobook for?
This audiobook is for any homebuyer, investor, or real estate agent that is looking to purchase a condominium and wants to ensure that they are leaving no stone unturned. This audiobook will help to analyze all aspects of the transaction and help to provide the framework for a condominium purchase so that you can be sure that you are asking the right questions and are keeping a keen eye out for any mistakes that could be on the horizon.

No matter how great you are at finding real estate deals, you could lose everything if you don’t manage your properties correctly. However, being a landlord doesn’t have to mean middle-of-the-night phone calls, costly evictions, or daily frustrations with ungrateful tenants. Being a landlord can be fun - but only if you do it right!

Story
Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

Mostly common sense, some good tips
I find the narrator's voice relaxing, but the content was mostly common sense. This may be helpful for people completely new to the real estate scene, like never even watched a TLC home reno show kind of new. For the price he did have one or two tips I hadn't thought about.

An Absolute must read! Valuable information!
Wow what an eye opener! I learned so much helpful information made pages of notes. Seriously I never thought about phone reception in a unit that’s so important especially if you work from home. This is a must read if you are looking to purchase a condo.
