What is a co-op? A co-op is similar to a condo where you're buying an apartment in a building, but instead of buying real property, you're buying shares in a corporation. And you also receive a proprietary lease which allows you access and rights to that apartment. Closing costs of a co-op are about 1%, and when you buy a condo, it's about 5% if it's under a million dollars.
