Being new to real estate I want to own rental property, but don't know the difference between apartments, condos and town homes. Couldn't find a forum for this question. Can some one please explain the differences, so i can have a better understanding.

A CONDO almost always has an HOA controlling the property (and interfering with your rental business)

A Townhome is an architectural style:  living space on the ground floor and bedrooms on the upper floors, thereby reducing the footprint on the land.  @Jim Arnold's comment also applies.
