I am interested in buying a condo, but I don't really have any money to put down? Can I apply for a mortgage with no money down? How does this process work? I am really lost in what you need to buy property.

I can buy a condo for 187k cash, and my monthly fee going forward between taxes and maint would be $400. Or I can take that same 187k and put it in the stock market and continue renting my apartment for $925 per month. What should I do?

I'm looking to buy a condo but the maintainence fees are somewhat high. I'd like to find a way to stretch my money, even if it means adding time to my mortgage.

I dont wanna be too close to the coast. Scared of tsunamis. Value wise whats the best place to buy a condo that would surely go up in price ?
