This may well not have been a factor in the past, but a smart buyer should certainly think about it in the future. Just as he or she should think about possible litigation risk as a result of defective non-judicial foreclosure actions taken in the past by a condo board. A year ago these may have been unforeseen problems, but they're quite foreseeable now.
