Two. Took the first step towards becoming an actual home-owner (well, apartment owner). Downside: fifth floor. Upside: elevator. Balconies. Roof access (common, but the apartment's on the top floor).

Sellers are a small outfit trying to market solar photovoltaic technology, who got ground up by the bureaucracy, apparently.
