Quoted from Frax:

Just because you can read something doesn't mean you necessarily understand it. In my case, I bought my condo when I was like...oh... 21. You think I had a single damn clue what I was getting into? No, I was still completely ignorant of such things. I was a moron kid with some money that wanted to not be wasting money into apartment rent every month, and a condo looked like a good middle ground to build some wealth instead of just throwing money at someone else's retirement fund. You're right, it's still my problem, and it was my fault for not talking more to my realtor or trying to figure out where the bylaws were hidden in the documents. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't have to be a lot more transparent about their shenanigans up front.
