or my friends, who rent in a brand new downtown condo, whose walls in the hallways aren't straight, door frames crooked... they've had 2 floods in the last 6 months, currently living in another rental apartment whilst their place gets fixed (no cost to them thanks to insurance - in reality it's no cost to them as renters, as they'd just move if they didn't have insurance).

the ONLY reason to buy real estate is to own the land, i think we can all agree that people are idiots, so why would you want to own something that these idiots can actually mess up for you
Depends on the builder and the area. That's where common sense comes in? Is that area shaddy? Is it is a more upsacle area? is the builder good or do they have bad rep? Always, always go check the area where you want to buy during the day, at night and even on weekends to see how traffic is, is there any shaddy people around, is the neighbourhood good, is there parking space............
