very informative but a little overwhelming...also with all the recent issues with the economy the information is slightly out of date because the banks have really cracked down...but still a lot of food for though

This will be good to review when the time comes. Very specific information about dealing with buying a condo, including questions to ask and good tips.

[Mark Heiliger]

Just about everything one could want to know about buying a condo. An overwhelming amount of information. By the time we reached the chapter on closing, my brain was pretty much soup.
