Title: Thinking about buying a condo
Post by: treysolid on May 19, 2010, 01:11:57 PM
moving to Palm Beach FL.  all I've ever done is rent.  whole "home ownership" thing is kinda intimidating  :ohno:

I owned a condo for 5 years.  It was cool, didn't have to do much.  Get one where they take care of everything for you.

Are you the guy who took a picture of yourself peeing on the side of the road in West Virginia?  If so, you're not ready.

Definitely do this.  And use this thread to document everything about your process so should I go, I can just look here and have a bunch of research already done for me.

i think i'm going to do this.  this being get a 6 mo. lease and then look around once i'm down there.  also, living in a "cheap" apartment should help build up a down-payment stash.

Nope, I'm almost positive it was Konofo.
