Not necessrily true. Condos are easier to sell than co-ops, especially if they are in a desirable complex. Co-ops are cheaper to buy, but you don't own anything but shares and the monthly maintenance charges are usually very high. In a condo, you own the inside of the unit.
A condo in a well maintained complex is a great starter home, especially for a single person. The mowing and landscaping is all taken care of, as well as the building maintenance and any plumbing and electrical inside the walls.
