• HOA fees & what’s included are very important (see the next article). Sometimes a low sale price is offset by high monthly fees.

• Location: more affordable units may be further from prime downtown/amenities or BART.

• Utilities, parking, and upkeep: check what comes with the unit vs what you must pay for.
