When I help folks shop for condos they often get sticker shock from the monthly association fees.  I then advise them they need to get answers to the following questions.

  1. What services and repairs are included in the monthly bill?
  2. How well does the association maintain the property?
  3. How much would it cost for you to provide the same services and repairs?
  4. What is your leisure time worth?
  5. Does the association provide insurance that you would normally have to buy on your own?

Home Ownership: Still the American Dream?

Posted by: Jerry | Comments (0)

Here’s my take on it-  I see more and more folks buying homes so they can “CONSUME” real estate and live in a “HOME”, rather than buying  a house to “INVEST” in real estate.  When you consider the non-financial benefits that come from owning your “HOME”, it changes the numbers you need to make it work.  Two things to keep in mind-

1)      The “consuming” real estate model is the one that helped generations of Americans use their home to help fund retirement.  The “investing” in real estate model gave us a bubble and a bust.

2)      When looking at the numbers you need to IGNORE national trends.  Many folks that were listening to national real estate gurus bought in the Phoenix metro market well after the local market had already begun a slide.
