Hi, I’m Caden

I Learned the hard way. That’s why I built this guide.

I bought a condo in a paradise location, full of excitement… only to uncover hidden fees, surprise assessments, and frustrating one-way communication.

Also Discover my info-packed Condo Caution Guide ™ with everything I have learned — plus a quick self-discovery quiz to help you decide if condo living is really right for you.


Whether you’re just starting your search or already eyeing a unit, I’ll show you how to spot red flags, ask smart questions, and confidently find a place you’ll love to call home.

I was initially all-in about buying a condo in my neighborhood,

But I learned so much through the condo owners on this platform about what to be aware of when buying these things. I didn’t realize there was so much to it. The Condo Parrot™ community helped me understand there’s so much more I need to consider. Granted, they never gave me investing advice, but the overall information I learned really helped me make a great decision!

Condo Parrot™ has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me as a young guy considering buying a condo. This is the only place where I’ve truly seen people discuss what it’s like to own a condominium, be part of a condo community, and everything it comes with! investor. The community helped me learn the ins and outs of condo life, and the Empower Guide really helped me learn about condo owner rights that I never would have before!
