💵What this unit actually costs per month
33% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $83,400 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $5,870.
Not FHA-approved. No 3.5%-down FHA financing on this unit, so the realistic floor is a 5%-down conventional loan ($44,750). Common for small associations and not a defect on its own, but it does remove FHA buyers from your resale pool.
