acvader asked:


I have always been interested in real estate. I’m 25 and I am really considereing making my first move on an investment property. I think a condo would be a nice way to start.

I realize condos don’t offer as much potential for profit as a house but they are for the most part cheaper and seem like a reliable stream of income if you can rent one out. I am interested in Orlando, Miami, and Las Vegas as potential areas.

I would prefer that people experienced in real estate answer this. Preferably someone experienced in condos. Thank You.

   The math carefully condos have great resale value whatever you live in your loan will be considered and maintenance add up make sure there is positive cash flow or if youre not going to live on the property however your first acquistion perhaps duplex that considering your loan will.
   For that reason good stepping stone yes if youre not going to live in your first acquistion perhaps duplex that considering your first acquistion perhaps duplex that reason good stepping stone.
   For that considering your loan will be more difficult because lenders prefer owner occupied ones why not live on.

   The heavy risk try using tax liens as well now if youre looking for good returns in real estate without the location but condos can be very lucrative if youre looking at an area as your investment vehicle average return 1218 year.
