Grill/pets is least of my worries. I just want to get out of the crummy rent I am doing now. A bit disappointed in the structure comments and seems mixed on the grill. not allowed but also not really enforced maybe? I've been calling around to try to find more info on the HOA rules, but can't seem to find a solid answer without having to be redirected 2-3 times. I sure hope the value of these condos doesn't drop to 90k. That one condo posted earlier at 139k was a foreclosure I was also looking at and it sold for $174k. I did see the HOA fee of nearly 200/mo which is quite high. I expect to only live there for 3-4 years and get out after I've saved up some cash for a single family home... and also assuming I ATLEAST break even on the condo when I sell it.
Regarding the noise level.. is it really that bad? I stuck around in the 2nd floor condo for over 2 hours hoping to hear someone upstairs but didn't hear them, so I figure either they weren't there or it was fairly sound-dampening
The agent should provide you with a copy of the HOA association rules.
With everything I've read, you'd be a fool to make this purchase.
