HALLUCINATIONS... THE MAINTENANCE FREE-LIVING MYTH B By CAI staff writer


YOU JUST CLOSED ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR CONDO, A SPACIOUS THIRD-FLOOR UNIT IN A CONDOMINIUM BUILDING IN A VERY DESIRABLE PART OF TOWN THAT FEATURES A CLUBHOUSE AND LOADS OF MODERN AMENITIES. AS YOU MOVE IN YOUR FURNITURE AND LAST BOXES OF POSSESSIONS, YOU BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF. FINALLY, A PLACE WHERE ALL YOU’LL HAVE TO DO IS PAY YOUR MONTHLY ASSESSMENT AND ALL OF THE REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH HOMEOWNERSHIP WILL MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR.
