Condos are huge cluster fusses. . as well as located in places where maintenance is higher than normal, (mostly near the ocean where the salt in the air and the sandy soil creates a lot of potential erosion and instability)

Timely that I tired of catching and eating lobsters. :-) Fortunately, the short game is coming around to where I can enjoy these pretty golf courses here.
The beach condo folks are looking at some sudden, large increases in things like "reserves" funding. OTOH, there's a couple of new tall ones going up near our old one with some crazy numbers for the unit prices.
Had a tennis acquaintance explain to me that getting on a condo "board" can be utilized as a means of acquiring "kickbacks". Definitely do not miss the "condo commandos", however much fun it was to test their logical reasoning capabilities. :-)
