As a prospective buyer, doing your due diligence is crucial. You may have questions about the association, and many of these can be answered through the association’s documents. Here’s a friendly guide on how you can obtain this information during your due diligence period.
Preferred Method: Ask The Seller
Your seller has access to all the association documents, such as the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations, through their property owner web portal account. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Request Documents
Politely ask the seller to provide you with the necessary documents. They can download these from their web portal.
2. Review Thoroughly
Once you receive the documents, take the time to review them carefully. Look for any rules or restrictions that might affect your decision to purchase.
3. Ask Questions
If you have any questions or need clarification, don’t hesitate to ask the seller or your real estate agent.
