Lots of friends have asked me for tips when #buying an apartment or condo. You need to think about building age, governance, fees, maintenance risks + more. I created an Apartment Buyer Checklist to help review these factors before making an offer: etsy.com/au/listing/44725460…

Buying a #house or #apartment can feel overwhelming. Over time, I kept a running list of prompts I’d share with friends and family when they were buying. I’ve now turned that into a due diligence checklist for first-home buyers: 👉 stan.store/JohnOCal #property #realestate
