In this video, Dan J. Reilly explains why changing market conditions, falling rents, rising vacancy, record condo inventory, mortgage renewals, and aging buildings have created new risks for buyers. He breaks down the six condo types that deserve extra scrutiny, including older leaky condo-era buildings, investor-heavy towers, pre-sale completions with appraisal gaps, unfinished pre-sale assignments, buildings with underfunded contingency reserve funds, and strata corporations involved in active litigation. You'll also learn how to identify warning signs before making an offer, what documents to review during due diligence, and why spending 30 minutes reviewing a building could save you from a six-figure mistake.
