The decision
What to know before you decide
HOA delinquencies, litigation, owner-occupancy ratios, investor concentration and the condo questionnaire can affect financing and risk. This resource narrows the broader condo due diligence decision to one practical choice so the family can compare the property, timing, cost and downside on the same facts.

What this decision turns on
HOA delinquencies, litigation, owner-occupancy ratios, investor concentration and the condo questionnaire can affect financing and risk. The useful evidence is property- and plan-specific rather than a generic claim about the CSUMB market.
Review the evidenceWhat to compare before you act
Obtain current association financial and legal information and coordinate the lender questionnaire early enough to affect the purchase decision. Use the exact address, current documents, current costs and intended hold period instead of averages that hide building-level differences.
Review the checklistWhat can change the answer
A visually strong unit can still be difficult to finance or resell if project-level risk is high. If the decision depends on lending, tax, legal, insurance, HOA or university rules, confirm that part with the responsible source before relying on it.
