Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

Why due-diligence periods are getting shorter — and what survives the squeeze.

In tight markets, sellers compress diligence windows from 30 days to 7-10. The items that survive a compressed window are the ones with hard external dependencies — title work, survey, environmental Phase I — because they cannot be parallelized further. Inspections and financing contingencies tend to get squeezed first.

Why It Matters

Buyers who try to do the same diligence in 1/3 the time produce lower-quality findings and end up with surprises at closing. Knowing what cannot be compressed is the difference between a clean close and a re-trade.

2.2

A 5-minute checklist before pulling a building permit.

The most-rejected permit applications fail on documentation completeness, not project merit. A reliable pre-submission check covers four things: (1) parcel zoning matches intended use, (2) setback dimensions match the survey, (3) any required HOA or design-review sign-off is attached, (4) contractor license number is valid and unrestricted in the issuing jurisdiction.

Why It Matters

Permit re-submission resets the queue clock in most SA jurisdictions, adding 2-6 weeks to a project. Catching documentation gaps before submission is the cheapest schedule recovery tool an owner has.

2.3

The HOA documents that matter when buying a condo.

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.

Why It Matters

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.
