A free-standing home on a piece of land. You own both the house structure (known as the \u201cimprovement\u201d) and the land underneath it. Depending on your state, owning the land doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you own everything in the land though. Mineral rights are typically reserved and can go way back to the original owner of the land. Most people are surprised to learn, however, that you generally do own the air-rights above your land\u2026 meaning someone cannot build a structure over the top of your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Condo<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u201ccondo\u201d is often overused and can mean many different things. Most of us think \u201ctownhouse\u201d, \u201cduplex\u201d, or \u201capartment\u201d, but technically speaking a condo could be any of these. In fact, many condos actually look just like houses, with a free-standing structure and a yard. The primary difference in a condo comes with ownership. With a condo, you own the unit itself, plus an \u201cinterest\u201d (0% and up) in any common area, but you don\u2019t own the land underneath it or the air rights above it. For condos that look like houses, this may seem a little weird not to actually own the land, but it\u2019s fairly common and is a growing trend among developers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These terms are sometimes used interchangeably but more often are used incorrectly.
