What should make you pause

Watch for unexplained fee jumps, thin reserve contributions, repeated water events, insurance problems, unresolved engineering items, owner disputes in minutes, short reserve-study timing, special-assessment language, and bylaws that conflict with how the buyer plans to live.

When to ask for help

This becomes urgent when a document condition is short, material documents are missing or stale, minutes mention unresolved repairs or assessments, insurance or financing is uncertain, a bylaw conflicts with intended use, or the buyer is being asked to waive review before specialist or legal questions are answered.
