I'm thinking of purchasing a co-op. The unit is in a nice complex that I'm very familiar with and know how well it's managed and maintained. I see the pros are the cost, and the fact that the co-op takes care of most of the maintenance, including plumbing, heating, hot water heater and even appliances. I pretty much just live there. I lost my shirt on my house so I'm gun shy about purchasing anything, but I can buy into a co-op and get a nice unit for less money than what I'm paying in rent. I'm not familiar with co-op's so I'm wondering if anyone owns one and could give me advice or some pros and cons.
