HOA docs are $200 to $500 here and no one wants to pay in advance until they know they have a firm contract.

The basic documents — recent meeting minutes and annual financial statements — are not provided to unit owners for free on an annual basis? If it’s a short sale, one would assume that the unit owner could provide them to the listing broker. But perhaps I’m wrong.

You seem to be one of those buyers I run into from time to time who think they know it all and are smarter than any real estate agent so I wont bother to tell you anything more. You already know it all.

No – I’m asking questions and attempting to educate myself. And I admit that I do find some things odd. No need to be a d’bag to someone whom you don’t even know, bigshot.
