Is buying a Miami condo a crazy move for a 22-year-old?

I’m 22, about to graduate, and moving to Miami for a job after school. I know I’ll be here for at least the next 5 years, so I’m considering buying a condo. This wouldn’t be for renting or Airbnb—just a place to live and hopefully build some equity.

Here’s what I’ve noticed: while rent and single-family home prices are still high, condo prices have dropped following the laws passed after the Surfside collapse. I’m aware of the risks—assessment fees, HOA issues, and other condo-specific concerns—but renting for 5+ years seems like I’d have nothing to show for it in the end. I’d rather put my money toward something I own.

I’ll have a high income after graduation, though my current budget is somewhat limited due to a lack of money set aside for a down payment. I’m looking for advice on where to search for a simple studio or 1-bedroom that has the potential to retain its value. Any suggestions or tips on what to look for would be greatly appreciated!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
