@Tara AdiI am not an attorneyMy experience has been owning a condo as well as building 1,000’s of themIn this instance there was a defect from the common area element that caused damage to the window which would be the responsibility of the HOAThink of it another way, if the roof leaks and destroys your drywall ceiling - are you responsible to replace the drywall?

I know this is new construction, but everything that is new today has a useful life, so if you plan on holding long term, reserving for new roof, HVAC, appliances, etc is typically worthwhile.Not sure of your design, but if you are building these with any common areas, you will likely have a "house meter" for the common area electric.  

Spending $20k on exterior if windows roof and painting are needed will eat up costs pretty fastBest to itemize what needs to be done and then determine a rough estimated cost

OK, yes house hacking means you are living there and renting additional rooms or units from under the same roof.

We had an inspection done and and then negotiated the price down to $197,000 from $250,000 based on the fact we would allow my husband's step dad rent a room during ski season, the faulty roof, and other issues with the property.

Rehabbed both apartments, new roof, siding, windows, furnaces, AC, and water heaters What was the outcome?

Hi all, My insurance company sent me an email last night saying they are cancelling my policy on 5/7 mainly due to shingle/roof damage, debris on premise, and miscellaneous maintenance issues.My insurer has mentioned that insurance has become a stricter process.

Featuring brand new roof, new windows, completely new electrical system, completely new HVAC system, brand new plumbing inside the house, and all new designer cosmetic updates, luxury inter-locking vinyl floors & luxury stretch ceilings with recessed lighting & full landscaping with new sod up front.

Well, in 25 years (typically) you will need a new roof.  

Is the roof updated, and are there modern electric wiring and new water pipes?
