Is buying a condo a good idea? I would like to move out of my parents house but don't want to fall for the rent meme. I'm also not sure about buying a house because it's double the price at least.
Depends on what you want in a home. You can also rent while you save up money to buy a nicer place. It's a good step between living with your parents and "holy shit, I own and am responsible for a building now"

fun fact, even after you buy the condo you still have to pay "rent" in the form of condo dues.

property taxes too

If you can easily rent out or sell this condo for a comparable price even if your job happened to move, then maybe.

Sure, but obviously these will be less than a profitable rent would be. It's typically a reasonable investment if you can afford it.

Aren't those included when you get a mortgage?
