Condo Owner, Home Buyer in New York

My condo board is harassing me and trying to levy a $500/day fine…

Asked Fri Nov 7 2008, 11:12 by Condo Owner  -  10021  -  General Area  -  5 answers
Will Nesbitt answered:
I would agree that the next step is legal. But one step before that is an open letter to the board. The letter should state your position and should include copies of all permissions and approvals. Lastly the letter should warn that if the condo board chooses to pursue this path you will seek legal counsel and that is not good for anyone. - Thu Nov 13 2008, 03:39

Sarah Payne, Home Buyer in Alexandria

HOA fees

Asked Mon Jun 23 2008, 10:40 by Sarah Payne  -  22314  -  Home Buying  -  4 answers
Will Nesbitt answered:
Sarah, I can make a few suggestions, but are you sure you want a lower HOA?

The condo fees are used to pay for maintenance and upkeep and in many cases the condo fees pay for some or all utilities. If your association has very low fees, it could spell disaster down the road when the association doesn't have enough money for new windows or a new roof.

You're safe ...

if you can afford your condo.

If you can't afford it, you'll need to get lucky for the market to bail you out. A lot of people at the tail end of the bubble (like all bubbles) paid too much because they thought things would keep going up. They found out the truth. Real estate usually goes up. It almost always goes up in value. But it doesn't ALWAYS go up.

Three years down the road you'll have options. You can rent your place out or you can sell it. Most likely you'll do a little better than break even. (Which means that you got the tax savings over the years of residence.) You bought in a great area. I'm sure you'll be fine. - Mon Nov 3 2008, 04:59
