What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
Few units, so secondary liquidity is limited
Some older rental listings need on-site verification
Not directly beside the RTS station
