Oof, glad I read this so we know what questions to ask/red flags to look out for if we ever do pull the trigger on purchasing a condo!

COA fees going from $110 to $930 is fucking wildly crazy work. Did they at least tell you WHY it shot up like that?

And its also crazy that special assessments cab be billed for that high per unit. We'd be fucked! I thought the point of paying COA fees each month was supposed to spread the cost of maintenance around/ensure there are savings in the bank to cover major repairs!

Either the fees didn't jump straight to $930 from $110 or the person didn't do due diligence in reviewing the condo's budget before they bought.
