You may already be aware of the significance of the importance of location. You must first think about location when investing in real estate, or when setting up your business. It's impossible to relocate a condo from one place to the next therefore you should think about this. What will the surrounding area around the condominium look in 3 to 5 years time? Are you able to get there easily? Are there nearby stores or locations where you can purchase food? These are crucial if you want to offer your home to rent, but is equally crucial if you only want to be your principal residence.

Budget - Aside from the cash-out typically required to purchase a house, you might want to think about having a buffer equivalent to at least two months of your expected monthly amortization. Sometimes, unexpected things would happen, and your broker might not disclose that processing charges are associated with your loan when it is scheduled to be approved.

Prize - What will the winner be awarded? Prices rise as condo units get more expensive or are near their completion. Even though this could sound odd to first-time buyers, buying condos at an early selling stage is an option for those with a prize consideration. You can sometimes receive a discount of between 10 and 15%, based on the you can afford the amount the developer offers. You may also wish to look for a condominium that meets your requirements, but not too big. Condos are generally more comfortable inside as compared to houses so ventilation through more space should always be the preferred option. Comparing prices: Some condos aren't fully furnished, but they can be bought for less. It is also possible to purchase larger condos if you purchase those "bare" units.

Reputation: You should investigate the reputation of the condo owner or developer who you're thinking of buying from. I live in a condo unit, that I bought from a developer who has been developing condos for 15 years. I've visited their other developments as well and I've met with people who live there for quite sometime and they were happy. This means I'm in good hands... You do not want to lose your investment if ever that project isn't able to proceed, do you? It could take some time before you get your money back. Make sure to do your homework and request references from previous customers. Also, visit their website.

Maintenance - Last but certainly not least, you don't wish to buy a home that will quickly lose its value due to lack of maintenance. Also, you don't want to be swimming in a filthy pool. You're buying air space, and there are many common areas that could be shared by everyone. You'll want to choose a condominium that is highly maintained, however with high maintenance is a price. Association fees are charged per square meter of unit. However, it is important to consider a property which will help build a positive community around it.
