I was more or less looking for advice before I even brought it under contract.

If the pest control could put a  bait box at the outside front and back of your own personal townhouse, it would probably treat for all the mice in the immediate area, but I don't know if that's even allowed in a condo community.I would get a few other residents to bring it to the HOA. 

I am in contract with a 3 family multi unit property.

So if you are looking to meet agents, wholesalers, maybe a couple lenders, or some investors that have done a few flips or own a couple SFRs, you will find many people there.This isn't to say they are bad, but in the several dozens I have attended, they have not been worth my time, professionally or personally.
