Scrimp-

do you feel like mowing lawns?
feel like fixing a roof?
weeding a garden?

I am NOT suggesting you do condo 1 (previous post) or the ones above (BTW- I really do like the one you posted above too).

Single people and condos get along real well. You could go out at night, be hung over on weekend and not have to worry about mowing a lawn or wake up to a neighbor cutting his.

If you get married or involved in 3-7 years, you could sell and more than likely the condo holds its value. The condo I linked to was sold for 179900 I think (I think that is what wife and I were asking). So in 5 years it appears to have held its value while the price of everything around it dropped 20% or more.

The condo will not appreciate much, but you will not lose much either (prices much less volatile).
