    Are the families related to the original owner/builder?  If yes stay well away.

    Who is on the strata committee – is it just a representative of those three units, are there any members from the other units?  How often do they have strata committee meetings?  If no or very few strata committee meetings that’s a red flag.

    Yes there is a possibility that you can get someone “good” representing those lots but it’s really hard to figure that out before you sign – and if the family owners are a pain to deal with and there has been drama within the OC it’s not as if the vendor will disclose that (because it will impact their selling price).

    This is coming from experience – you’re lucky you have this info before your purchase… I and other recent purchasers in a building similar with a. similar ownership structure didn’t actually know as the strata reports we got weren’t that good.  And now we spend a lot of time fighting.
