This is step one CYA for a buyer, who you are dealing with.

When I have asked the management company about the HOA board in the past they always fail to respond.

Many people did that during the pandemic and most buyers in Tulum buy pre-construction.

Actually, most have been building up a "war chest" of capital getting ready to jump on opportunities as the novices fail-out.

Quote from @Donald Hatter: Pros:- Builders have many homes to sell at one time so it is easier to negotiate a better deal than with a home owner in the same neighborhood who is trying to sell their primary residence - Buyers bust out of deals all the time and builders don't like holding completed homes- Lower maintenance which leads to easier property management expenses.  

A moderate 80s update in Houston may not match Indy, so leaning on someone who knows the local buyer pool can save a lot of back and forth.All the best,Johnny

Seller financing joins me at the hip to the buyer.

Obviously, the rules will differ from state to state.The most successful buyers have trusted bidders with cashier’s checks in multiple denominations (for cash sales) and the actual buyers have field runners and people to monitor multiple prospective properties at a given time and check sales status for postponements due to BK, etc.This is the case in larger metro markets where many properties could go to sale but few do so.There are often better ways to acquire properties then auctions.

You can get on their list for buyers and see one pre-analyzed for you. 

@Berna Geylani, you have just learned how the government works or rather fails to work well.
