Use the comparison worksheetPublished by Black Ivy RealtyPublished October 31, 2026
Before choosing between units
Write down each address, unit and legal association name. Record your intended use, the listing date and the source of each figure. Two units with similar asking prices can have different recurring charges and restrictions.
Compare financing, property-tax estimates, unit-owner insurance, association dues and uncovered utilities. Record one-time assessments, closing expenses, deposits and move-in charges separately. Ask whether an assessment is paid upfront or in installments and who is responsible under the transaction terms.
Request the current budget, available financial statements, reserve information, meeting records, insurance information and relevant building reports. Note missing documents and unresolved repair or funding questions for your lender, attorney or other appropriate professional.
Confirm leasing rules, approval steps, renovation procedures, pet policies, parking rights, guest access and storage for the exact unit. Use association documents and written responses rather than assumptions about another unit in the building.
Ask your insurance professional to distinguish the association policy from coverage you need for the unit. Ask your lender to review the project and your financing plan. A listing price or a loan pre-approval alone does not settle the building review.
For every unresolved item, record the question, who will answer it, the supporting document and the date received. Bring the comparison to your showing and professional review rather than treating a low monthly subtotal as the complete decision.
Side-by-side worksheet
Leave unknown costs blank. Enter 0 only when you have confirmed that a cost does not apply. Nothing is sent to Black Ivy Realty; entries clear when you reload.
Use principal and interest only for financing. Taxes and insurance are entered separately, so do not include them again through escrow. Enter only charges not already covered by association dues. The worksheet does not estimate taxes, insurance, assessments, closing cash, or future fee increases.
