They'd be able to give a lot more personalized advice versus what you might find on public forums such as these.That being said, there's a variety of strategies you might be able to employ.

If buying a condo research the HOA health, engineering study, last 5 years of HOA board and meeting minutes and last three years of HOA financials/reserves. 

And last, but not least, health insurance costs here in America.

This is where I would start, I would also try to utilize public records.

The Detroit Health Department even reached out to us personally last week to begin working in tandem with us and our in-house property management team placing section 8 tenants for them that are in dire or desperate need of shelter into our properties. 

If someone gets bent out of shape because of the way someone responded on a public forum, they have not yet developed the needed “thickness” of skin.  

When the public threw out the leftist politicians who were worried about criminals “rights” rather than victims rights and eased regulations on business, encouraged new construction rather than prohibiting it, the NYC turned around.  

Mostly health and safety issues would cause it to require repairs.

I just look at my situation even with medicare we are at about 1500 a month just for health insurance. 

They’re taking the self-checkouts away there too because they couldn’t prevent rampant theft with them, and many restaurants are going back to paper menus because they’ve gotten such negative feedback from people needing to read the menu and order on their phones (I have dietary restrictions due to a health condition and I hate ordering on my phone because it’s so much easier just to talk to somebody).
