You might find that there are restrictions you can't live with like prohibitions on parking a camper, boat or commercial vehicle - and even the colors you can paint your doors or shutters.Be sure to ask whether there are any pending lawsuits against the condo association or any special assessments in existence now or anticipated in the future.You shou;d also request a certificate of good standing from the condo association, meaning that the seller doesn't have any outstanding fines or fees.
