[quote=clearfund]You “…don’t want to waste my time making an offer on a place.” but you want to waste you time reading 200 pages of docs/financials of a condo complex before even knowing if you can get a unit under contract at a decent price?
Get it under contract and title will email it to you during escrow for free. No charge if you cancel during your inspection period.[/quote]
I see what you’re saying but I kind of see it as a chicken and egg problem. No point in trying to get a unit under contract if the docs are a deal breaker, and also vice versa. I guess it just depends on what would take less time to negotiate first, the offer or the docs.
Even if it’s a 200 page document I would assume that the part I’m mostly interested in — whether the HOA has appropriate funding, special assessments coming up, and what I can/can’t do to my unit shouldn’t require reading all 200 pages (at least not word for word).
