I think it is a great time for you to buy a downtown condo. Why limit it to $300K? Or maybe buy two at that price! I’m sure the neighbors around your new place will love you for providing them with an endless stream of European tourists to interact with. Some of the negative nellies on this board will try to scare you with tales of bankrupt HOAs, but don’t let them discourage you. They’re just jealous bitter renters. There’s never been a better time to buy a downtown condo!
