Switching from sales to rentals? Think again.

With the residential market still reeling, more condo developers nationwide are looking to transform their prized pads from sales to rentals. But the transition can be a logistical nightmare, according to the Wall Street Journal, because what’s intended to be a sales unit often doesn’t compute as a rental. Developers tend to dole out more cash on pricey fixtures for condos and many often decide to switch tacks after they’ve already sold units — and telling homeowners that they’ll be living next to renters sometimes doesn’t go so well.
