The next year those will reset to your purchase price (which will be higher) and your exemptions (which will be lower). This could result in a significant jump in property tax.
3. Amenity fee. The fee that the current owner is paying is likely less than the fee that you will pay. Their fee was established when they purchased the home and has increased steadily since. It is likely that it has not increased to be the same amount as the current fee set when the home changes hands. For example, they may be paying $170/month while yours might be set at $195. Not a showstopper but maybe an unexpected adjustment.
