This allows investors to use their condos as collateral to obtain additional financing for new condo investments and expand their real estate portfolio. While this strategy can potentially amplify returns, it does come with risks. Therefore, it is important to have a solid financial plan in place and carefully consider the potential impact of market fluctuations before proceeding with such investments.

Investors should carefully consider the maintenance and management aspects when purchasing a condo. This is because condos usually come with maintenance fees that cover the upkeep of shared spaces and amenities. While these fees may increase the total cost of owning the property, they also guarantee that the condo maintains its value and remains in good condition. One way to ease the burden of managing a condo is by hiring a property management company. This allows investors to have a more hands-off approach to their investment, making it a passive venture.
