Categories: Thoughts on Classy Condominiums | February 2nd, 2011 | by Carlo | no comments


Classy condos are being put up in many parts of the world. Condo living is considered a status symbol of sorts in many countries because a condo is usually seen as something that only the upwardly mobile can afford.

Because of the more high-class image of condos, classy condo buildings are being built in many posh areas in most cities in the world. For example, one of the more expensive and ambitious projects being made is a building in Singapore that is closely associated with renowned designer Philippe Starck. This kind of cachet just shows that with classy condos, sky’s the limit.

You found your dream condo but before anything else, you need to answer seven most important questions before buying a condo.

  1. ?What’s the beef??

- Take a look at the minutes of the condo association board meetings to see what the owners have been griping about.

  1. “Who’s Been Naughty and Who’s Been Nice?”

- If people aren’t paying their association dues on time, that is either a sign of discontent or an indication that the association might be underfunded.

  1. “How Much Is In the Repair Fund?”

- Ask if the community has done a reserve-fund review in the past five years.

  1. “Can You Cover Me?”

- Get a copy of the certificate of insurance, which is a summary of the association’s policy.

  1. “Does the Association Present Any Legal Problems?”

- Contact a local real estate lawyer and have him or her go over the bylaws of the association.

  1. “Is the Complex Renter-Friendly?”

- Ask other tenants about their experience. In addition, ask to see the association’s rental lease, and have a real estate lawyer look it over.

  1. “Am I My Community’s Keeper?”

- Watch out for a condo whose owners manage the place themselves.

            Whether it’s a vacation home or a rental property, a second home can offer you as many advantages as your primary resident. If you are looking for a home besides home where you can relax and enjoy your time with your family then one of your best choices, a condo unit in lakefront. After the hustle of your daily life at work you know that you have a place where you can retreat with your family.

What’s even more exciting than this is that a second home investment can be very financially rewarding with tax deductible interest, real estate appreciation, and potential rental income. While you are back at work, you can have your condo unit rented. But before buying anything, make sure that you understand the tax implications of a second home.

If you are looking for a home away from home, a place where you can retire or simply a wise investment, then you need not look anywhere else. The Miami Condo Market offers a large number of solutions for those interested. With Miami‘s vibrant area and its favorable climate for recolation, it isn’t a surprise that people around the world are attracted to it.

With location as the mantra for real estates, Miami‘s most popular ones are near the beach front and so the most expensive ones as well. The South beach area is the most sought after in the Miami condo unit not only because of the astonishing view of the beach but to its famous nightlife.

This I believe is one of the best deals in town. The place is amazing that every penny spent will be worth it. Indeed, a home away from home.

            Before you rush into buying a condo unit, take a minute or two and ponder on what Evelyn Solis, vice president for marketing and sales of One Asia Development Corporation, says: Make a list of needs and wants. The list should include the following parameters in your decision: location, accessibility and aesthetics.

            You must rank your needs and wants before finalizing any plans of buying. For instance, you must consider the proximity of the condo unit to your workplace. Of course, it is also very important to ask what type of condo you are looking for.

            With your list, you can now pick from what the market offers that best meet your standards and requirements. Remember not to rush for the sake of buying. It may yield to a bad result in the end and it would be too late for regrets.

Classy Condo vs. Classy House

I will present to you some of my observations about staying in a condo or a house.

• Condo is easy to clean and maintain
• In condo, you’ll have a good privacy
• More bondings among families in a condo (considering small circle of family in small dwelling place)
• In the house, the play place of children is larger than in condos
• It is easy to make a classy style in a condo rather than a spacious house
