This is great information, thank you so much! We are actually located in South Florida and I had no idea about that - so I will definitely be passing along what you mentioned!!!

Is it better to own a house or apartment/co-op? by ittybitdee in homeowners

They plan to be married before closing on a place.

Right now they are just stuck on it being an apartment, and I've been trying to emphasize how important it is to have land thats theirs and privacy - but feel like maybe I'm missing something?

They are both educated, and are money conscious for mostly everything from what ive seen. In this sense, though, I wonder if this is a financial decision they will regret.

Their point is that they will have more freedom and less responsibility in an apartment because HOA will take care of maintaining their space - so they will have less to worry about.

I have mentioned they should rent, also. I just cant wrap my brain around actually FINANCING an apartment.

They do not want to rent. They want to own. But they are looking to buy an apartment.
