Condo: Condominium. A multiunit project consisting of individual
ownership of the actual dwelling unit and undivided ownership of common areas.
If you plan to be an absentee owner and do not plan to rent out your home a
condo can be a good investment. Condo's have a large number of rules and can be
burdensome. Condo owners pay dues (association fees) for the upkeep and
maintenance of the common areas
Co-op: Cooperative. A multiunit project consisting of individual dwelling
units owned by a corporation in which the individual apartment tents own stock

involved.
