Yep. Just the way it works. I kind of understand the rationale behind it. Imagine if everyone considering a property requested it. It would cause some extra work for them I guess.
But I guess they could just upload it to a DropBox account in PDF format and just give the link out so people could download it.
I tried getting the HOA and CC&R’s before I was buying but none would provide them before escrow. But I thought that was fair. Especially here in California where you get several days to pretty much back out for whatever reason.
