    Phoenix first-time buyer: how should I divide a $32,000 post-closing buffer?

    Before deciding, put everything on one page: final cash to close, first payment date, monthly mortgage and condo charges, insurance deductible, moving quote, inspection priorities and any known assessment. Then subtract a protected emergency reserve from the $32,000. What remains is the true...

    Mixed-use building or villa in Miami: what costs appear after year one?

    C$668,200 Montreal apartment: buy or keep renting with high association fees?

    What are the apartment’s interior area and current monthly dues? Without those, price per square metre says little. I’d also want the building’s available financial records, planned major work and insurance history. Low reserves plus an aging, maintenance-intensive building could turn apparently...
