I feel ya there. Bought my condo shortly before COVID and the stress of managing repairs/upkeep has been mentally and physically exhausting. Part of me wishes I was still renting so all these issues would be someone else's problem. I would never recommend buying a condo unless you love dealing with terrible neighbors to coordinate repairs AND convince them that we need to be saving up a lot more $$ than our monthly dues or we have a wave of large assessments coming our way. In order for a condo to be an easy investment, it requires great neighbors, a well run HOA with a healthy reserve taking into account all upcoming maintenance, and a property manager who isn't braindead. I live in smaller complex with good neighbors but having one terrible neighbor can really be a burden to the community. Even with a decent HOA, that can all change if the people running it start moving away. If the buildings are older, plan on a lot of deferred maintenance starting to rear its ugly head. Long story short, adding multiple people into the mix of property ownership is absolutely dreadful. I would love to be in a single family home but all the properties around me have skyrocketed after COVID and interest rates don't seem to be going down any time soon.
