Know Your Market
New York
Most Manhattan apartments are co-ops or condos, each with distinct board approval and financing rules. A real estate attorney is essential, and co-op purchases require a full board package and interview.
New Jersey
New Jersey buyers get a unique three-business-day attorney review period after signing, during which either side can still cancel or renegotiate terms. Property tax rates vary widely by town.
Florida
Condo and HOA associations govern approval, fees, and rules, and Florida contracts typically become binding as soon as they’re signed, so read carefully before you do.
