Condos and townhomes trade a private yard for convenience. For weekenders, first-time buyers, and anyone who'd rather not shovel a driveway, that can be exactly the right trade — but the HOA and rental rules deserve a close look.
With a condo or townhome, you're buying into an association. Review the HOA dues, rules, reserves, and any restrictions carefully. Crucially, if you intend to rent short-term, confirm both the HOA's rules and the jurisdiction's short-term-rental rules — an HOA can restrict rentals even where the city or county would otherwise allow them.
Rachael helps buyers compare communities, read the HOA details that matter, and weigh location and rules — so you understand exactly what you're buying into before you commit.
