1 year agoAre you in the US? It tends to be different there than elsewhere. In the UK here, it’s much more accepted to buy flats and live in them long term. In the US, it’s looked down on because people hate sharing walls, hate the monthly maintenance fee you have to pay the building, and hate the resale value and challenge with resale in general.
Apartments can be an okay purchase but tend not to be an investment like houses have traditionally been.
That was my experience using robo advisors too, like betterment. I had so many buy and sells I had to mail my return in on paper, it sucked.
