Buying a condominium or a townhome can be a great way to start investing in real estate.

This leads to a larger idea – that many issues are specific to purchasing a condominium or townhome. To help others achieve their goals, whether buying a condo as an investment or a primary residence, I wanted to share five things to consider before making a purchase:
