If your budget is tight, choose apartments on the ground floor, sold at a lower price than those located upstairs and generating fewer condominium fees.
A property that requires work also costs less than a property in good condition, but you will only get a good deal if the price reduction is greater than the cost of the work. Finally, if you can wait before moving in, buying a leased property will allow you to obtain a discount of 10% to 20% of its price, depending on the duration of the lease remaining to run.
