And assuming that loan does not have a "due at sale" clause on there that would give you a massive balloon payment.

NOW, if there was a recent storm that cause a sudden leak resulting interior damage you may not have much of a leg to stand on because HOA was not neglegent in doing timely repairs, it just happened.Now if you think they should repair but they won't you will have to sue your HOA (yourself also since you are an owner) Once they board and HOA recieve the letter from your attorney, they will likely just settle and fix your wall inside since it will be way more costly to defend and it may raise they HOA insurance next year, thus passing the cost to you via your HOA dues.
