Details like reserve fund balances, ongoing litigation, monthly fees, and building rules can shape your investment for years. I always encourage clients to compare the reserve fund against the building\u2019s study, and to keep an eye out for fee increases above 5%\u2014that can hint at postponed maintenance or future special assessments.<\/p>\n<p>Buildings with a high number of investor-owned units may impact your financing options and the sense of community. And don\u2019t overlook the essentials: access to transit, walkability, nearby shops, and recent sales within the building all help you assess whether the building truly fits your lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the real risk isn\u2019t paying too much for a quality building\u2014it\u2019s settling for a bargain in a poorly managed one.
