The decision
What to know before you decide
Master-insurance deductibles, deeded versus assigned parking, rental waitlists, minimum lease terms and roommate rules are property-use facts that need document support. 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
Master-insurance deductibles, deeded versus assigned parking, rental waitlists, minimum lease terms and roommate rules are property-use facts that need document support. The useful evidence is property- and plan-specific rather than a generic claim about the CSUMB market.
Review the evidence
What to compare before you act
Compare the actual governing documents and insurance information with the buyer’s student-use or investment plan. Use the exact address, current documents, current costs and intended hold period instead of averages that hide building-level differences.
Review the checklist
What can change the answer
Do not rely on a listing description or prior owner practice when the association documents say something different. If the decision depends on lending, tax, legal, insurance, HOA or university rules, confirm that part with the responsible source before relying on it.
