This could directly affect both your experience as a resident and your future property value.If you're a real-estate agent, you owe it to your clients to know how to spot problems with the running of the condos they're looking at.You've probably found that there's widespread misinformation about the nuts and bolts of running a condo in M xico - assuming you can find any reliable info at all!Much of the problem comes from unsubstantiated opinions or maintaining of the status quo. Some early condos made mistakes when they were set-up, and these have been continued by new condos copying them! Eventually, poor (and often, illegal) practices become the standards on which new condo administrations are based.
