It's one of the most frequently asked questions among real estate investors, and the answer isn't as simple as many people think.

A condo can offer lower maintenance, easier rental management, and access to desirable urban locations. A house may provide more land value, greater flexibility, and long-term appreciation potential depending on the neighbourhood and market conditions.

Instead of focusing only on the property type, investors should consider:

• Investment goals

• Budget

• Rental strategy

• Holding period

• Risk tolerance

• Location

The best investment isn't always a condo or always a house. It's the property that best supports your long-term financial plan.
