--- We live in a condo currently--and love the lock and leave---- our condo fee is $215 a month- it's well worth it...covers everything outside including roof replacement, landscaping, snow removal, etc... well managed- our board president is a retired police, no big items to break (elevators, pool, etc) -- I've been to a meeting or two, but don't want to get involved because it's currently run well and I'm now friends with our treasurer, who keeps a tight grip on the purse strings...

Thanks inverse! It is encouraging to hear from someone having a good experience in a condo. Late last night, I received an email forwarded to me from the seller. It was addresses t his realtor.
"I apologize for not responding earlier, but I am working with a client in Boston and we have a few critical deadlines. In response to the Special Assessment questions, Section J, of the revised “Community Association Disclosure” for Mxxxx Drive, Loft 109, I am submitting the following supportive clarification.
I submitted the answer “amount TBD - has not been presented to owners” because a Special Assessment was discussed by the Board to improve the exterior envelope of the building. An engineering firm is currently conducting an evaluation to recommend enhancements and improvements. Since the evaluation has not been completed, a final recommendation from the Board has not been presented to the owners for voting. I hope this correspondence clarifies my position and desire to be transparent."
I edited out the exact address. This is in Atlanta. I still do not have the financials or minutes.
