At last a book that guides the reader through the perils and
opportunities of buying a home within a community association.
Condominiums, townhomes, cooperatives, and single-family homes within a
community association share similar issues with respect to financial and
governance surprises that may affect your pocketbook and quality of
life. Learn how to ask for the right information, ask the right
questions, and decide for yourself the best home that reflects your
values, lifestyle, and budget--and of course to help avoid a major
surprise after purchase. David T. Schwindt, certified public accountant,
consultant, and reserve study specialist, brings over thirty years of
experience with community associations in an easy-to-understand resource
that you will find invaluable in making the right decision for you and
your family. Included with each informative chapter are tips, best
practices, and ways to create community and harmony within an
association.
