HOA surprises post-closing?
Buyers discover HOA horrors post-closing. Dues spike unexpectedly.
1. The problem
Condo buyers discover special assessments post-closing yearly. HOA docs arrive late deliberately. Budgets hide deficits deeply. Rules ban pets retroactively. The hardest part is pre-offer truth fast. A resale pack might cost hundreds. That uncertainty makes it hard to bid informed.
“Horrors surface post-closing here. I need pre-offer pulls with red flags.”
2. What exists
Resale packs, agents and HOA portals disclose docs, while buyers stay blind. Packs cost steeply. An agent might minimize issues. There is little help with pre-offer pulls plus red-flag scans for buyers.
3. The solution
The solution could be a bid-informed engine. It could pull budgets plus rules fast. It could flag assessments plainly. Comparisons could rank buildings. The goal would be offers informed, never shocked.
