Life Any Realtors out there?? Ever lived in a condo?

I'd like to stop sinking rent into my apartment and take advantage of the Obama tax credit before Dec. 1st rolls around. I have a steady job and am single. I can't decide on a house or a condo. I'd like to get a house but most of the ones in my price range are crapholes or are not in a part of town I want to live in. All of my friends keep telling me to purchase a condo and live in it for a few years to build up some equity before moving into a house. These friends are far from being certified financial advisers but are home owners themselves. So anywho, if anybody has any advice or has any insider tips, experiences, little "need to knows" about living in a condo, I'd really appreciate it.
