Consider your entire financial picture...

The tenant had multiple businesses and is financially secure with reserves. 

That could be a stand alone building for $200K or two small $100K buildings, or 20% of a building that costs $1 mil. 

The individual who passed was going in and out of the hospital for over a year, which leads some of us to believe that her financial affairs (i.e. other late bills were in the mail also) were getting neglected. 

But the listing is terrible and missing a lot of relevant details and financials.

Americans (and probably other nations as well) are woefully ignorant of financial and economic matters in general.

I wonder if there is a legal leg to stand on to force the HOA to proceed.The complex is made up of several different buildings, some with 3/2, some with 2/2 condos, and some with 2/2 townhouse, so the structural damage is unfortunately pertinent to our unit of 8 dwellings (4 front, 4 back).  

Beginning this year I have been aggressively studying financial independence and more recently been drawn to real estate.

Read those minutes and see if they are proposing any plans that will influence the owners financially, like a special assessment, changing rental requirements, etc etc. 

If she's not willing to do a simple background check why are you willing to risk your time, assets, and/or financial future?
