[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2950431, member: 4676"] I've lived in two apartment complexes that were originally built for condos. The ONLY advantage to a condo is that it's someone else's responsibility to keep up with the structure, and they are going to charge you handsomely for it (usually). You could like tuck that same money away if you owned a house and basically be self-insured. The one I just moved out of had a parking garage underneath it going 4 levels underground. We had some friends who lived there as well. He had all the tools stolen out of his truck and she had her bike stolen. The management did not give two @#$s about it. I lost count of the number of times I almost had someone hit me head on in the garage because apparently the idea of driving to the right vanishes if there are no lanes to guide people. And of course there's the inevitable douche-baggery. In our first one, my wife and I almost called the cops on the couple next door, they seriously sounded like they were going to kill each other. I'm super paranoid about stuff going wrong on a house. Like SUPER paranoid. But even I got over it after having been subjected to about 3 years of that. Decided to just save up for anything, take my licks if they come, and enjoy my privacy and peace. [/QUOTE]
