Property may be subject to FIRPTA ... deal killer?

[Paul G.]

I'm looking at a small condo to buy as an investment, and I noticed in the seller notes that the property may be subject to firpta... is this a deal killer? I've never heard of firpta until now and in doing my research, it looks like it's a bunch of risk on the buyer side? Can someone please eli5 about firpta and whether I should back away slowly from property. Everything else looks good and the cash flow is definitely decent... assuming this won't cause a whole host of legal/tax problems. What should I look for and what questions should I be asking?
