Looking to buy condo in SF,CA

[Latta K.]

Currently looking for creative ways to aquire a condo in SF (non BMR). Within the next month I will be debt free with about 40-50k cash on hand. Any suggestions? Seller financing?

Unless you are a "specialist" in condo operating budgets, reserve funding plans, local law and Governing documents for the project you are interested in, stick to Fee simple ownership. There are too many ways a condo/HOA can change the rules and change your annual expenses outside of your control.
