Thanks! That’s a fantastic deal. My mortgage + HOA is just over $2400/month for a tiny 870 sqft 2 bed/1 bath condo, even after putting 27% for down payment. 😞 The good part is I got in at 2.99% interest. Definitely will not be seeing that interest rate again. Location is perfect, but need more space. Not willing to give up urban walkability. Just looking to see what’s out there, and check out future options.

I will die before i pay an HOA. My plan is buy a whole block, and just rent it out below market. I hate these scalpers out here rn when it comes to rentals

Check with your condo association and they more than likely will let you instal an EV charger if you get an electric car.

Or just get a ioniq 5, EV6 or VK that comes with 2 years free charging if they won’t let you

I get to see how all the building’s HOA funds are being spent, and it’s fairly reasonable. We have certain amenities, like 24/7 concierge service, pool & jacuzzi, tennis courts, etc. There’a also regular cleaning service for the common areas, in-house building engineer responsible maintenance, elevators, etc. We do have the option of putting in EV charger for my garage parking space, but I’d need to switch to an EV (currently driving a regular hybrid).

Well, make the switch! You just have to hunt for the right EV, and then find a dealer that doesn’t markup. A bit of work on your end but well worth it i promise
