Title
The Condo Bible for Americans: Everything You Must Know Before and After Buying a Condo - Paperback
by Dan S. Barnabic (Author)
"I particularly like the description of the 100-unit complex example. Barnabic's expertise is invaluable to those considering condominium ownership and to those who may find themselves on the board of a condominium association."
-KIMBERLY WINSON-GEIDEMAN, Ph.D., prolific author on real estate and Professor of Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Law at the University of North Texas
"A timely, admirable book. Barnabic recognizes the paradox inherent in the idea of shared private property. He provides would-be buyers with a checklist of things to look for when assessing the financial stability and long-term viability of a particular condominium corporation."
-BENJAMIN GIANNI, Associate Professor, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, Carleton University

Barnabic writes that very few consumers are aware that:
The Condo Bible for Americans also includes:
