I have also encountered some condominium complexes which indicate ventless dryers are required.They biggest problem we have encountered with ventless dryers is (re)educating tenants to think a little differently about how they do laundry.

You have to do you due diligence on these condos because sometimes the harder thing to do is to actually get into the condominium to see the condo.

It can also lead to abuse by tenants and neglect of properties by landlords, as there's no incentive to improve housing.If anyone doesn't know yet there's a major push for rent controls in cities across California and even at the state level (AB1506 trying to spread it to SFRs and condominiums). 

I am looking to buy a potential 2/2 condominium unit.

Plan to presale 70% of 400 commercial condominium units prior to construction to gross $150MM, just like we did in the previous similar project.The only missing piece is to have a JV or investor willing to show prove of funds needed to process construction loan, around 25 to 30%.

I am trying to do underwriting of a group of condominiums that are for sale.
