Townhome vs. condo: what's the difference?
With a townhome you typically own the land beneath you; with a condo you own the interior. That distinction drives financing, insurance, and HOA structure — and lenders treat them differently.
HOA health matters more than granite counters. We review budgets, reserves, and any special assessments before you commit.
