Know your association also means you read the master deed and the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions carefully. Reason one: you need to know what you can and cannot do in your condo unit and in the condo building/project before you invest money. Reason two: it will give you a better idea about how your neighbors view themselves, what they value.

3. Know your neighbors

It's best to buy in a complex where the other owners have situations similar to yours. For two reasons:

Some of them are going to be on the board of directors, making up rules, the rest will be voting for those rules. It's best if you're in the first group. But if you're pulling right and everybody else is pulling left, you're going left.
You have less privacy in a condo than you have in a home.
4. Find out about insurance

Yes, the association will have insurance. But that insurance doesn't cover everything you buy when you buy a Terra Hill Price condo. Find out what is not covered and buy your own coverage for that part of your property.
