Buying a Condominium

[BPA234]

I was hoping you would answer Florida. I could give you a lot of info. I don't know anything about condo's in Thailand> But, I would assume that there would be some similar concerns.

Maintenance fees (can be a major cost), owned or leased land greatly affects resale, general condition of the building, current state of market (this is huge-4 years ago in FL you could have purchased units for 250 that 2-years ago were selling for 650-700 that are now sitting vacant w/no buyers), quality of construction (huge implications if your're buying new-(sound isolation is very important) costs of insurance.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Leaky condos have been a major problem here in Vancouver and the surrounding suburbs. Due to shoddy building codes and the use of inferior materials many condo owners are having to foot the bill when the roof starts leaking. It can take a year or even over a decade before things start going bad too.
