The Condo Bible for Americans: Everything You Must Know Before and After Buying a Condo"I particularly like the description of the 100 unit complex example.

"I particularly like the description of the 100-unit complex example. Barnabic's expertise is invaluable to those considering condominium ownership and to those who may find themselves on the board of a condominium association."

-KIMBERLY WINSON-GEIDEMAN, Ph.D., prolific author on real estate and Professor of Finance, Insurance, Real Estate, and Law at the University of North Texas

"A timely, admirable book. Barnabic recognizes the paradox inherent in the idea of shared private property. He provides would-be buyers with a checklist of things to look for when assessing the financial stability and long-term viability of a particular condominium corporation."

-BENJAMIN GIANNI, Associate Professor, Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, Carleton University

The Condo Bible for Americans is a buyer beware and owner beware book that reveals the legal and practical realities of condo ownership, compares owning a condo with owning a house/renting an apartment, and advises consumers on the dangers of the condo real estate market, given ...

  • The debilitating market crashes of the late 1990s and 2006
  • The effects of today's record low interest rates, in which:
    • Developers are enticing consumers into condo ownership by allowing low or even no down payments
    • Real estate prices are soaring out of the reach of those with average incomes
    • The market is being flooded with condo units, creating an oversupply that could prove disastrous

    Barnabic writes that very few consumers are aware that:

  • One defaulting unit owner can affect the well being of all unit owners
  • A high percentage of units being rented out may be a sign that the complex may be converted into an apartment building
  • A condo association's default on a common loan can cause the demise of the whole condo complex and its individual units

The Condo Bible for Americans also includes:

  • The Ten Commandments of Condo Buying
  • Recommendations and remedies for government and financial institutions, condo associations, and condo boards to make condo ownership safer

Dan S. Barnabic is a noted consumer advocate and a keen observer of condo proliferation. He worked in real estate as an agent, broker, property manager, and condominium developer. His over three decades in the real estate industry began in the 1970s and intensified after he witnessed the major real estate crashes of the late 1980s and 2006.

Works great once assembled
Color: Black
I had an experienced handyman attach the wheels, and even he was confused since the instructions are poor. So allow yourself some extra time to assemble the wheels. However, once attached and placed upright, the wheels are smooth and its very easy to position. And it folds up into a small footprint just as advertised. Looks great. No issues with quality.

Game-changer for me
Color: Light Grey
I’ve had a basement office for a while. I share a big room with my work bench. I’ve always just had a curtain hanging between the two, but after a promotion, I decided it was time for something more professional looking. This divider is awesome, and move-able when I need the space for my workbench activities. The frame is very sturdy - impressively sturdy even. The felt walls are thick enough to take even heavy duty tacks. There are three things that could make it even better, but none of them are enough to knock a star off my review, because this is truly a quality piece of office gear. 1. Put a magnetic strip on the top bars so that you could hang a little heavier items or add magnetic hooks. I plan to buy some magnetic tape to allow for this. 2. Allow the panels to be locked at the top. The locking wheels do a decent job of keeping everything in place, but if you could also lock the top of the frames, it would greatly increase stability. Note that it is already quite stable, but the top locks would make it very similar to actual cubicle walls. 3. Put a swivel caster on the middle wheel bars. This would allow you to configure the panels and the “feet” at angles other than 90 degrees when desired. Again, these suggestions would take a fantastic item and put it into 6-star rarefied air. It is truly a great product as-is, but I would gladly pay another $100 for this item if it had these additional features.

Flimsy and cheap screws
Screws snapped off when I tried to drill htem in and no matter how I try to get the leg pieces in they will NOT stay. Falls apart, screws snap off, the middle axle holes arent even lined up so you cant install one of the pieces in the first place.
