Reading through a few postings i see people discribing problems with condos, riped off on price /service charges. Hard to resell ect. Anybody have experience of this or is it hearsay. I can understand renting to get to know the area. I was hoping to buy a condo at some stage in the future as did think would be nice to have a place to call my own. I did think that buying a condo would be easy with no problems now i am not so sure.

I believe most of us are smart enough have avoided condos on the basis of this 'hearsay' and are quite glad we did.  What we hear is not good.  If you prefer newspapers you will find many stories over the last decade.  That also becomes part of our hearsay.  For a small group of people they may be the answer.  But for most it is probably best to avoid them.  The protection here is not what most people would expect.  There is a basis for most of the hearsay you are likely to hear.
