Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.
Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.
A Phase I ESA is required for most commercial loans and is strongly recommended whenever a site has had industrial, gas-station, dry-cleaner, or auto-repair use in its history. The ESA itself does not test soil — it researches historical use and identifies Recognized Environmental Conditions that may justify a Phase II (which does test).
CERCLA liability for contamination attaches to current owners regardless of who caused the contamination. A Phase I performed before purchase establishes the "innocent landowner" defense, which is otherwise nearly impossible to claim.
A 1031 like-kind exchange has three hard clocks: the 45-day identification window, the 180-day close window, and the same-taxpayer rule (the entity selling and buying must match). Missing any one of these collapses the deferral, exposing the full gain to tax. The most-missed is the same-taxpayer rule when LLCs change membership mid-exchange.
The tax exposure on a busted exchange is the full long-term capital gain plus depreciation recapture — often 25-30% of the basis difference. Process discipline is the only protection.
