Is buying a house a better investment long term than buying a loft or condo?

I am specifically looking at buying a loft or condo in the Midtown area of Atlanta, GA within the next year.

History and numbers have always shown that a house will appreciate much more and fast than a condo or loft will (if all are in the same area). So it really depends on your needs. I travel for work so I wanted to make sure to avoid houses, since I do not want to have to maintain a backyard.

the "kind" of real estate property you purchase should be a result of a few factors. First, what does the market suggest would be a good return on the investment?... and second what is you personal preference?

i think a condo is much better
