Is a co-op technically an investment or not?
Hi BiggerPockets Family,
I’m trying to start my real estate investment journey through the purchase of my primary residence, with the intention of selling it in less than 5 years. I was open to condos and co-ops but after more research am stuck.
Are co-ops even technically an investment (considering you don’t own the actual space)? Should only look at condos if I really want a taste for the investment world? (Late this year/ early next I want to start building a portfolio of out of state, long term rental properties). Can anyone share their thoughts?
(Where I live/ work, I can only afford an apartment so don’t have the opportunity to house hack with a multi family)
Thanks in advance!
Jackie
