Apartment Living: The Complete Guide to Buying, Renting, Surviving, and Thriving in Apartments - Sue Williams & Jimmy Thomson
All around the country, young couples, singles, families, empty nesters and seniors are buying into apartments for a simpler, more secure, high facility, low-maintenance lifestyle - or a good investment for the future.
For many, apartment living is a dream come true, but for others it's a nightmare from which there's no escape. Without proper preparation, buying "off-the-plan" can spell financial disaster while just renting older apartments can hide a myriad of traps you never imagined. Good buildings have the potential to be real communities but bad neighbours can make your life a misery, and acrimonious legal disputes could keep you poor for the rest of your life.
With it's clear advice, hilarious true-life anecdotes and startling horror stories, Apartment Living will help you make your decision to buy, rent, lease out or live in a unit both happy and profitable. Apartment Living is essential reading before you even look at apartments - it's the best real estate investment you'll ever make.
