Why This Is a Great Buy in Houston’s Market:
Unlike most Houston apartments (which are rentals), this is a condo with a clear title – you own the interior space plus undivided interest in common areas. HOA rules allow rentals (no minimum lease term) and pets (two per unit, no weight limit). The 3-bedroom configuration is extremely rare for intown living; most "3-bedroom" listings are actually 2-bedrooms with a converted den.
Asking Price: $200,000 (negotiable, seller open to buyer concessions). Estimated monthly mortgage (20% down, 6.5% interest) = $1,970 plus HOA/taxes/insurance.
