Tips & Traps When Buying A Condo, Co-op, or Townhouse

One third of all homes sold today are condos, co-ops, or townhouses. America's #1 real estate expert shows what to watch for when buying one of them.

These "shared ownership" options have unique pluses and minuses, as Bob Irwin reveals in Tips & Traps When Buying a Condo, Co-op, or Townhouse.

Like other books in his best-selling "Tips & Traps" series, it's packed with targeted, reader-friendly advice. If you're a prospective buyer, Bob Irwin will show you how to:

  • Decide if shared ownership is right for you
  • Read between the lines of bylaws
  • Deal with homeowners associations
  • Check out the seven warning signs of big trouble
  • Handle disclosures and inspections
  • And much more
