However, in many cases you likely won't be able to obtain by-laws until you are under contract.I would have your attorney include a specific "HOA" rider in the contract for this exact reason- It basically would require that you have ample time to review the governing docs of the HOA, such as master deed, current by-laws, current year’s budget, and last two years of audited financial statements, association meeting minutes, etc.
