ANSWER

Detailed answer

A buyer should separate reservation, down payment/equity, balance at turnover, financing capacity, taxes/fees where applicable, fit-out or furnishing and ongoing association costs. A low monthly equity can still lead to a large turnover balance.

CONCLUSION

Decision rule

Start with the maximum monthly amount you can sustain and the cash you can produce at turnover, then work backward into properties that fit.
