Ascertain how many condo units are being rented out. You can do so by visiting the complex itself and talking to the occupants and owners of condos in the complex. If 25 percent or more of its units are rented, stay clear of the complex. It very well may have a dark future. The exception to this rule may be condo complexes located in tourist resort areas with high rental demands. [2013] - Dan S. Barnabic

If a realtor is involved, the funds can be paid to the realtors' trust account or your own lawyer's trust account as the situation dictates. [2006] - Douglas Gray
