Don’t Buy a Bay Area Condo Until You See This! 🚨🏢

🚨 Buying a Condo in the Bay Area? Watch This First! 🏢
Condos and townhomes can be a smart entry point for Bay Area homeownership — but not all are created equal. With rising HOA fees, insurance costs, and underfunded reserves, you need to know what to avoid before you buy.
In this video, I share the red flags I personally look for when evaluating condos and townhomes for myself and my clients. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizing, or investing — these tips will help you make a more informed (and financially safe) decision.
🚪 What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✅ Why I avoid condos with too many amenities (they cost you more long-term)

✅ What a reserve study is — and why you must read it before you buy

✅ The rental restrictions that could limit your flexibility

✅ Why I stay away from flipped properties

✅ How condo appreciation compares to single-family homes

✅ Bonus: The perks of newer layouts, locations near transit, and lower maintenance
📍 Target Audience: First-time buyers, downsizers, and real estate investors across the Bay Area
