and there's a truly need to distinguish between buy to stay or invest cos the appeals of each condo project are different and given the different future potential customer base, investment buyers need to rate and buy projects based on its potential rate of investment returns and location plays a critical role here.
more importantly, personally i feel that all smart potential buyers should always hear as much negative feedback anyone can dig out, and evaluate and investigate, based on their own criteria whether such highlighted stuff matters to them or not as everyone has different tastes & yardsticks...
buyers should also try to understand their agents, their tastes and ways of thinking to ascertain how objective and professional their agents' inputs are, how much they should rely on their agents' recommendations or whether their agents are simply pandering to buyers' voiced wants so as to determine what roles (driver, secretary, friendly adviser, trusted adviser, professional adviser) they want their agents to play in their choice of a property. afterall, buyers and agents should work as a team.
my case is, as previously mentioned, if to buy for stay, by all means go ahead. find a box of good size and decorate the interiors to your liking; if to invest, then rethink location.
