Before You Buy in an Association

• Ask for the documents: declaration, bylaws, rules, the current budget, reserve information and recent meeting minutes.
• Check rental rules: some condo associations limit or ban short-term rentals, and rules can change by vote.
• Compare what the fee covers: a higher fee that includes insurance, water, a pool or a boat slip can cost less than a low fee plus separate bills.
• Look for special assessments: lakefront buildings, seawalls, docks and marinas are costly to maintain.
• Plan the payoff: our title partner, Trilogy Title Agency, requests the association payoff and transfer information before closing.
