The unit is what you see. The association is what you are actually buying into. Before closing on any Miami condo, the association's paperwork deserves the same scrutiny as the property itself: budget, reserve funding, recent board minutes, pending special assessments, and the status of the building's required inspections.
Florida's post-Surfside rules made structural inspections and reserve funding a legal reality for older coastal buildings, and buildings facing major work fund it through assessments on owners. Reading the minutes tells you what the board is worried about before it becomes a line item on your statement.
Also read the rules as a resident: rental restrictions, pet policies, renovation approval processes, and move-in procedures. A building's culture is set by its documents. Rangely orders and reviews association packages as a standard part of due diligence on every condo purchase.
